Nasce Pentax RICOH Imaging Company Ltd.
Dopo un paio di mesi dall’acquisizione della divisione imaging di Pentax ad opera della RICOH, è stata formalizzata la nuova società: Pentax RICOH Imaging Company Ltd.. Da notare come, certamente per una questione di maggior peso nel settore fotografico (brand recognition), la compagnia si chiami “Pentax RICOH” e non “RICOH Pentax”.
