For the X time Olympus reconfirms: “we have no plans to sell our business, despite the rumors”

Imaging Resource interviewed Olympus manager Masanori Sako and for the 13,346 time Olympus said the camera division is not for sale :)

“We can clearly say that we have no plans to sell our business, despite the rumors…The consumer business really leads in developing new technologies for us, that are then sometimes used in other divisions, like medical and life science products. Our role besides our own [imaging] business, is really to lead technology and innovation for the entire company. So yes, we will continue this business.“
