Hakusan, Japan, May 15, 2012 - EIZO NANAO CORPORATION (TSE: 6737) announced that it will change its company name to “EIZO Corporation” as of April 1, 2013, pending approval at the annual shareholders' meeting on June 21, 2012.
EIZO NANAO CORPORATION has operated as a manufacturer specializing in visual display products since it was established in 1968. In 1985 the company started to develop, manufacture, and sell its own products under the name "EIZO" which means "image" in Japanese. Since then it has endeavored to strengthen the EIZO brand through group companies and exclusive distributorships around the world.
EIZO NANAO CORPORATION established new sales companies in Germany and the United Kingdom in 2011 and started a direct selling system in 2012 to further expand its global business. While its overseas group companies use "EIZO" in their respective company names, EIZO NANAO CORPORATION has included "NANAO" in the company name since its founding.
“Changing the company name to simply ' EIZO Corporation' will create consistency with the brand name, raise awareness among investors and customers, strengthen competitiveness, and further help grow our business,” said Yoshitaka Jitsumori, president and CEO of EIZO NANAO CORPORATION. “It also signifies that imaging technology is at the core of our business as we continue to expand into specialty fields like medical, graphics, industrial, and entertainment.”
