Nikon

Nikon is a Japanese multinational corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, specializing in optics and imaging products. Nikon Corporation was established on 25 July 1917 when three leading optical manufacturers merged to form a comprehensive, fully integrated optical company known as Nippon Kōgaku Tōkyō K.K. Over the next sixty years, this growing company became a manufacturer of optical lenses (including those for the first Canon cameras) and equipment used in cameras, binoculars, microscopes and inspection equipment. During World War II the company operated thirty factories with 2,000 employees, manufacturing binoculars, lenses, bomb sights, and periscopes for the Japanese military.

Advanced key technologies and research are handled at Nikon's Core Technology Center. Each of Nikon’s individual companies conducts their own Research and Development based on a specific vision and aimed at developing products for the future.
