History
In 1962, Konica Europe Center was established in Hamburg, Germany, as a sales base for cameras. It organized product distribution and after-sales service systems in Europe.
The following year, it made its debut at the 8th Photokina held in Cologne, gradually increasing exports to Europe.
In 1965, a subsidiary was established in Hamburg with Minolta Switzerland as an investor.
Exhibited at a business show in 1970, and launched in 1971 under the product name "U-BIX 480," which was so popular that production could not keep up with demand.
The "Sakura Color ID System" for creating driver's licenses was operational nationwide.
The world's first flash-equipped camera, "Konica C35EF (Pikkari Konica)," was launched. It was born from the pursuit of a camera that anyone could easily use, becoming the world's first flash-equipped camera. It captured the fundamental needs of general users who wanted to take photos anytime by simply pressing the shutter, marking a major hit that symbolized the era of camera democratization.
A copier sales base was opened in Langenhagen.
The industry's first 24-exposure film, "Sakura Color 24," was launched.
The world's first fingertip pulse oximeter, "OXIMET MET-1471," was launched. Pulse oximeters measure the oxygen level in arterial blood without blood sampling, detecting oxygen intake in real-time, and are widely used in operating rooms, intensive care units, and respiratory outpatient clinics. In 1977, the company launched the world's first fingertip pulse oximeter, "OXIMET MET-1471," and continued to miniaturize and improve quality, which has been used as a tool to assess the severity of COVID-19 patients for over 40 years.
The world's first autofocus camera, "Konica C35AF (Jasupin Konica)," was launched. Market research on previously taken films revealed that 36% of photo failures were due to blurriness (out of focus). The development of technology to eliminate this led to the creation of the world's first autofocus camera, "Konica C35AF (Jasupin Konica)." With the automatic focusing feature that activates just by pressing the shutter, many people could now take sharp photos.
