Con il comunicato stampa allegato di seguito, Plextor ha posto fine alle voci in accordo alle quali il numero uno al mondo dei produttori di drive ottici sarebbe presto uscito dal mercato mondiale legato a questo tipo di dispositivi, o almeno da quello americano.
I rumor hanno tratto la loro origine da una notizia reale, coincidente con il fatto che l'azienda nipponica Shinano Kenshim, che controlla Plextor, ha annunciato in data 19 Gennaio di aver pianificato una riorganizzazione del proprio assetto, finalizzata all'incremento della efficienza produttiva, in Nord e Sud America. Tuttavia, tale notiza, pubblicata in giapponese, è stata tradotta male in lingua inglese, generando le voci infondate di una uscita di Plextor dal business degli optical drive.
FREMONT, Calif. January 23, 2007
- Plextor® LLC, a leading developer and manufacturer
of high-performance digital media equipment, today reaffirmed
its commitment to the optical disc drive business in North
and South America. On January 19, 2007, Shinano Kenshi
Co., Ltd., the parent company of Plextor, announced plans
to perform a corporate reorganization to streamline Plextor's
optical drive business to enhance operating efficiencies.
“This
announcement by Shinano Kenshi will have no material
affect on the operations of Plextor LLC, as we already
completed a corporate reorganization in North and South
America last year. Our business will continue as usual,”
said Toru Nakazawa, President of Plextor LLC, USA. “It
is unfortunate that an incorrect translation of a Japanese
article, which contained some errors, has led to the
rumor that Plextor is somehow quitting the optical disc
drive business. This is completely false. In fact, Plextor
plans to continue to lead the market with innovative,
exciting products that solve real world problems for
our consumer and business customers. We deeply appreciate
the loyalty of our customers and valued business partners.
And we look forward to many years of future success.”<
