Minolta Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
For Minolta, image truly is everything. Originally known for its cameras, Minolta focuses more on office equipment such as copiers, printers, fax machines, and scanners; the office segment accounts for almost 75% of its sales. Cameras are Minolta's second-largest segment (almost 20% of sales), and the company remains a world leader in the photographic equipment market, producing compact cameras, digital photography products, and Advanced Photo System cameras -- a technology designed to replace the 35mm standard. Other products from Minolta include binoculars, microfilm systems, medical instruments, light and color meters, and planetarium projectors. About half of the company's sales come from outside Japan.
