据《日经金融新闻》报道,在一次真对Hoya总裁铃木浩的采访中,后者透露目前公司正在制定针对宾得部门的3-4年发展商业计划,并将于12月中旬发布。
"From today's Nikkei Financial Daily, an interview with Hoya CEO Hiroshi Suzuki:
Hoya is currently drafting a three-to four-year business plan in cooperation
with the Pentax management. The plan is expected to be announced as early as mid-December after Pentax is turned into a wholly owned subsidiary.
The plan will likely specify the additional profit Hoya believes synergy with Pentax will generate.
I would like to work with top Pentax executives to spread Hoya's proven strategies for realizing profit growth," Suzuki said. If Hoya can successfullyexport its strategies focused on minimizing operating costs to Pentax, it will become a Japanese trailblazer in the field of mergers and acquisitions."
2006年12月21日,日本著名的数码相机制造商宾得公司(PENTAX)与日本HOYA公司就合并的事宜达成了共识,两家公司联合声明将于2007年10月完成合并,合并后的新公司名称将确定为“HOYA宾得HD株式会社”。
合并后的新公司将以HOYA公司为主,新公司作为集团总公司对HOYA和宾得旗下的各个事业与领域进行重新编成,整合HOYA公司和宾得公司的生命科学事业以及光学事业,研发及相关附属企业也将进行统一整合,但包括数码单反业务在内的影像事业两家公司各自维持独立性,而HOYA和宾得的研发部门,将合并成立新的研发部门。
