Hoya Corporation are saying they will “not shut down” the Pentax business, but admit they definitely need a strong electronics company as a partner. Pentax currently has ties with Samsung, but apparently Hoya are not sure if the Sourh Korean company would be the ideal partner for the future. Bloomber quotes Hoya’s Chief Operating Officer Hiroshi Hamada as saying, “I don’t know whether we’ll go with Samsung or somebody else, but I can say that we’ll have a deeper relationship with some electronics guys”.
