Which country is Nikon made in?

Nikon's predecessor was "Japan Optical Industry Co., Ltd." which was formed by the merger of Mitsubishi Joint Venture, Fujii Lens and Tokyo Digital Instruments. 19 12, Nikon hired eight optical experts from Germany, consolidated its technical foundation and expanded its production equipment, and started the research and development and production of photographic lenses. 19 13, Nikon officially launched "Nico", which later became synonymous with high-quality photographic lenses, to produce photographic lenses. After that, Nikon set up an enterprise mainly producing optical instruments such as aerial cameras, periscopes, rangefinders and telescopes. From 65438 to 0946, Nikon decided to trial-produce civil cameras based on the production of telescopes, measuring instruments and microscopes. 1948, Nikon I 35 mm camera was officially born, which opened a new page in Nikon's photographic equipment production.

Since 1948, when Nikon's first 35mm camera model I came out, Nikon has created a series of legendary cameras, which have won worldwide attention. These cameras, including Nikon S, a milestone in the development of Nikon cameras, first attracted the world's attention to the Nikon brand; In addition, the breakthrough is Nikon F series 35mm single-lens reflex camera, which is the first and "tried and tested" professional single-lens reflex camera series. This series of cameras is the first choice for professional photographers in recent decades.

In order to formally develop digital cameras and other imaging services in China, Nikon Co., Ltd. established a sales and service subsidiary-Nikon Imaging Instrument Sales (China) Co., Ltd. in Shanghai in April 2005, and set up branches in Beijing, Chengdu and Guangzhou in April 2006.

In recent years, China's economy has shown a remarkable development momentum. Enterprises all over the world regard China as a huge market with the fastest development in the future, and have stepped up their efforts to enter the China market. Nikon also developed its business in China by producing various products through Nikon Image China and other production bases. In terms of sales, China's market operation and sales activities are carried out through Nikon Hong Kong Limited, a local legal person in Hong Kong. In addition, designated repair shops have been set up all over China to provide technical guidance and after-sales service.

In order to truly seek career development in the rapidly expanding market in the future, Nikon believes that it is necessary to establish a stronger and more stable sales and service system, so this time it is decided to set up an import wholesale sales company in full by Nikon.

The newly established company will directly import and sell film cameras, digital cameras and other imaging equipment products. While increasing sales, it will strengthen market operation closely linked with the market and achieve the purpose of brand penetration through more effective advertising investment. In addition, in terms of after-sales service, many designated repair shops have been strengthened in technology through their foothold and direct sales.

Nikon will improve the whole system from market operation to sales and service in the developing China market, and further strengthen Nikon's position in the market by providing products and quality services that meet customers' needs.
