In what could be the biggest change to OM System structure since the company split from Olympus in 2021, the photography brand is now majority owned by its own CEO, Shigemi Sugimoto. The move effectively shifts majority ownership from a holdings corporation, OJ Holdings, Ltd., to a leader who has spent more than 30 years with Olympus and led the split to OM System.
Corporate speak aside, that means the former head of the imaging division at Olympus is now the majority owner of OM System. The move could lead to faster tech development and is likely a vote of confidence in OM System’s future.
