and they close a plant in China either, in Wuxi where they mainly produced compact and bridge cameras.

They apologise for the last 10 years and say that they have to prepare the future for the 100 years to come.
Their new vision will be "Transforming into a Nikon Group That Changes Society with Light" by creation of new value with technologies accumulated over the course of 100 years. _________________ Olivier - Moderator

Nikon did not have fantastic business results lately, so it is no surprise that some major changes are implemented. Companies often re-structure in similar situations, and often, closing local branches or production plants comes with this process.
I think this here rather reflects the strategy Nikon sees necessary to get competitive again, and not NWO-theories. |

Yes, strange to close a big market.
Instead they would better try to find ways to make it profitable. _________________ Olivier - Moderator

Possibly, they have no (cost-efficient) short-term possibilities to make the Brazil-branch profitable again in its current form. Or no cash available to pump into the BR-operations?
If we look e.g. at automotive, in the eighties, Renault ended US-activities, but not because it is a small market. Most US-car manufacturers had by that time already given up on the European market, again not because the market was deemed too small. My point being, the size of the (potential) market is not the only consideration a company needs to make.
Furthermore, for multinationals, it can be very challenging to keep operating branches in places with high figures of corruption, while at the same time complying with e.g. US and European anti-corruption legislation. E.g. the company where I work needed a lot of planning and auditing before even being able to open an office in Turkmenistan (ranked 154 out of 176 countries in the corruption index), or to keep operations in Syria (# 173 on said list) |
