Hoya Corporation (HOYA株式会社, Hoya Kabushiki Gaisha?) is a Japanese company that manufactures optical products
ranging from laser equipment to contact lenses. The headquarters are in 2-7-5 Naka-Ochiai,
Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. It is probably
best known for being one of the worlds leading manufacturers of photographic filters.
Hoya was discussing a merger with Pentax into Hoya
Pentax HD Corporation. The merger was initially intended to be completed by
October
1, 2007.[1] However, Pentax
management decided to not pursue the originally planned share swap, and other
options for a merger were discussed.[2] On
May 25th, the Pentax board of directors accepted Hoya's offer for a
merger.[3] On August 6, 2007,
Hoya completed a friendly takeover bid for Pentax and acquired 90.59% of the
company.[4] On October 29, 2007, Hoya and
Pentax announced that Pentax, as the company ceasing to exist, will merge with
and into Hoya on March 31, 2008.[5] Hoya
will retain the Pentax brand name.
The company has been criticized for supplying laser glass slabs to the
National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the
Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory.[6] The Mayors of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki have sent protest letters to the company.
