Not that I'm particularly worried about Pentax, I'm not sure how adding large amounts of staff and making offshore investments  -- in these particular times --- implies sound(er) or improving financial status.  What am I missing?   What was the productivity, sales per employee or what ever,  before and after?

If you check
http://profiles.wisi.com/profiles/scripts/page3.asp?cusip=C392W0060&curconv=392
it shows that in 2000 the employees number more then doubled from about 2300 to
more then 6000.

A while ago I found that Asahi Optical invested 10 million (I think US $) in an
Isreal based company.

I tracked down part of that info again.
