Manufacturing
For our manufacturing, we believe there are things more important than any of the technologies involved. One is the constant will to explore and challenge new technologies and innovations. Then, in order to turn these challenges into reality, there is our manufacturing base in Aizu; engineers who constantly explore technological innovations; skilled workers who continue to pursue accuracy and perfection. The interaction of different departments, skills and technologies is the engine behind Sigma’s unique products and manufacturing.
core technologies
Sigma’s core technologies are separated into three broad categories: development, manufacturing at our Aizu factory, and services. Together, they are the source of our digital cameras, lenses, accessories and software. Sigma’s unique products and services make use of inspirations and ideas that cannot be achieved within the confines of single branches but only through interactions between different specialized fields. Also, by handling each process, from research to development, manufacture and after-sales service ourselves, Sigma is able to accumulate a wealth of expertise and experience, which again helps us develop new ideas and technologies.
Small office, big factory
This phrase accurately describes Sigma’s unique production system and has been one of our fundamental principles since our foundation. Many of our products begin by following ideas such as “here’s a lens we would like to make” or “this would be the perfect product for us to create.” A highly-developed manufacturing technology is an indispensable requirement for turning such ideas into reality. A sharp sense of creativity paired with the power of a rich manufacturing system able to give shape to new thoughts. At Sigma, this balance is an integral part of our corporate philosophy.
