Weekly Nikon news flash #442



Nikon to close their digital camera plant in China:

“The Japanese precision equipment manufacturer will make an official decision at a board meeting Monday. The Jiangsu plant, which employs 2,500 workers, turns out entry-level compact digital cameras and interchangeable lenses for single-lens reflex cameras. Some production will be outsourced and Nikon will continue to sell cameras in China, where it controls nearly 30% of the market.”

Nikon already issued their regular “no comment” statement.
