Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation to be Established
Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation to be Established
Since most of the camera models use Sony sensors I thought this would interest those interested in the business of where their sensor comes from, hence:
Sony Corporation has been implementing a series of measures to reinforce its Devices segment, a key growth driver for the Sony Group. As part of these measures, Sony will adopt a new operational structure for its Devices segment. ..................
Sony is transforming one of its most successful businesses, image sensors, into a brand new company called Sony Semiconductor Solutions. All of its chips will be produced under the new company, but Sony said in a statement that "image sensors are a primary area of focus." The division will be carved away from Sony's devices group as part of a larger reorganization, and the rest of the group (storage and batteries) will be folded into other operations. Sony emphasized that the new company will operate "alongside existing Sony group companies," and start operating by April 1, 2016.

Re: Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation to be Established
DPReview has now taken up the story too.
Sony Corporation is to split the part of its business that makes imaging sensors away from the Devices segment that it currently comes under, to form its own company called Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation. Sony has said that the degree of autonomy that the new company will enjoy will allow it to react more quickly to changing market forces and will encourage the business to grow more quickly. The new company will control its own research and development programs, business plans and sales, whereas now they are dealt with by the parent company.
