Nikon carves lens expertise into niche in #chipmaking and space Camera maker invests $620m to repurpose optical tech for continued growth Faced with mounting headwinds in #digitalcameras, #Nikon has launched a 100 billion yen ($620 million) #investment spree to redirect expertise in optical products to promising sectors like #space and #semiconductors. Extensive upgrades are underway at Tochigi Nikon, a group manufacturing hub north of #Tokyo. The goal is to create a facility capable of producing all types of #lenses, from those as small as a grain of rice to products for chipmaking equipment, according to Muneaki Tokunari, who became Nikon's president in April. Tochigi Nikon opened in 1961 and has gradually expanded to include roughly more than 10 different buildings. The goal is to consolidate production there by fiscal 2027 to two new buildings with a combined floorspace of about 20,000 sq. meters, more than the total of the existing facilities.
