Initiatives
to Strengthen Sony’s PC and Digital Imaging Businesses
Tokyo, Japan – Sony
Corporation (“Sony”) today announced a series of organizational changes designed
to strengthen its PC and digital imaging businesses. Details are as
follows:
PC
Business
Effective
as of April 1, 2010, Sony will transfer certain PC-related operations, including
design operations, carried out by Sony EMCS Corporation Nagano TEC (Azumino
City, Nagano Prefecture) into the VAIO Business Group, the headquarters function
of Sony’s PC business. Concurrently, the VAIO Business Group will be
relocated to the “Nagano Business Center” of Sony, which will be newly located
on the premises of Sony EMCS Corporation Nagano TEC. Following this
move, Sony EMCS Corporation Nagano TEC, which is currently
conducting design, manufacturing and
related operations for Sony’s PC business, will be dedicated solely to
manufacturing operations.
By
centralizing all related operations of product planning, design and
manufacturing for Sony’s PC business at one site, Sony aims to strengthen
collaboration between each operation and establish a unified business structure
that further enhances efficiency and accelerates business growth.
Digital Imaging
Business
Operations
relating to Sony’s “α” digital SLR
business, which have been located at Sony’s Shin-Osaka Business Center in Osaka
City, Osaka Prefecture, will move to Sony’s Shinagawa Technology Center
(Minato-ku, Tokyo). This move is scheduled to be completed by the end
of March 2010. It is designed to maximize synergies with other
digital imaging business groups (including video cameras and digital still
cameras) in areas such as technological and product development, with the aim of
further reinforcing Sony’s “α” business and
optimizing operations across Sony’s digital imaging business.
