History of Nikon Corporation Nikon Corporation is a multinational corporation established in July of 1917 in Tokyo, Japan. The current headquarters for this renowned entity is located Shinagawa in Tokyo, Japan and is believed, as at March 2011, to have approximately 25,000 members of staff in its global employ. The corporation, when first established, was a combination of three of Japan’s leading optical manufactures. It was first known as Nippon Kogyo Kabushiki gaisha or Japan Optical Industries Corporation. Name changes followed in 1946 to Nikon and later to the Nikon Corporation in 1988, after the creation and release of its small-sized cameras. Intending to dominate the market from its foundation, the corporation initiated the engineering of optical glass in 1918, marketed its MIKRON 4x and 6x binoculars in 1921 and its JOICO microscope shortly thereafter in 1925. The JOICO was the first ever developed telescope by Nikon and bears the name of the company’s first initials. In 1932, the brand name NIKKOR was adopted for the cameras lenses being designed and released globally. The development of cameras followed shortly thereafter with the release of its first small-sized camera; named the Nikon Model 1 in 1948. The company continued its growth; being listed on the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges in 1949 and being lauded by the New York Times for its impressive Nikon cameras and NIKKOR lenses in 1950. This global introduction later resulted in the establishment of a NIKKOR club in 152 and the Nikon Optical Co. Inc.; now using the named Nippon Kogaku (U.S.A) Inc. in the United States in 1953. Nikon divisions were later established in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada, China, Poland, Thailand, Dubai, Brazil and the United Kingdom; extending the reach of this innovative company. Since its inception, almost a century ago, Nikon continues to revolutionize the field and is now responsible for the production of imaging and optical products globally.
