Growth and Synergy Creation in the Inspection and Optics Businesses Through the Full Subsidiarization of Oyo Koken Kogyo

「During the consolidated fiscal year, 応用光研工業㈱, which develops and manufactures radiation measurement equipment and optical crystal-related products, joined the group. As its addition to the group made it possible to coordinate internally on optical crystal growth, crystal processing, film deposition and laser products, the group is pursuing a broad range of research and development activities while strengthening collaboration both within and outside the group.」

「In pursuit of further growth, the company decided to acquire shares of 応用光研工業株式会社 on 17 October this year and made it a subsidiary effective 30 October. 応用光研工業 manufactures and sells measuring instruments and optical crystals. Its measuring instruments business supplies devices utilizing radiation measurement technology to nuclear power plants, local governments, public research institutions and universities, among others. Its crystal optics business also manufactures high-precision optical products such as lenses and prisms, as well as scintillator crystals that use the phenomenon of fluorescence emitted when radiation enters a particular substance. The company has high levels of technical expertise. As the group is focusing on making its Inspection Equipment Business, which uses lighting and image-processing technologies, and its Optics Business, which utilizes optical components, laser equipment and optical thin-film technologies, pillars of future growth, it will work to create significant synergies across multiple areas, including technology, sales channels and manufacturing, between 応用光研工業's businesses and the company's Inspection Equipment and Optics Businesses.」
