Would Hoya sell Pentax?
PDML user Ken Takeshita gave a translation of todays Hiroshi Suzuki (Hoya CEO and future Hoya Pentax HD CEO) interview fragment:
Folks, sky is not falling but a today’s news indicated that CEO of Hoya, in the presentation today on their financials, question was asked what Hoya would do on Pentax Imaging (camera) biz.
He apparently answered that [if there is no appreciable return, but selling would add more value to the biz, we might choose to do so].
Well, it sounds quite unlikely to me. Pentax imaging business is on the grow now, since the K series cameras success. Also Hoya still didn’t sell Tokina brand, so why would they do Pentax?
