About the Hasselblad Corporation
Blah blah blah... from a press-release:
 
  2003-01-30 Shriro acquires Hasselblad, the Swedish camera manufacturer.
The Shriro Group acquires the majority shareholding in Victor Hasselblad AB.
The purchase agreement was announced today at a press conference at the
Hasselblad premises in the centre of Gothenburg.
  - Shriro is well-known to Hasselblad, and has succeeded very well in
selling our products into the key markets in Asia, says G?eY?Lan Bernhoff,
President and CEO of Victor Hasselblad AB. Shriro is our distributor in
several key Asian markets and has, amongst other things shown its capability
together with Hasselblad in developing the Japanese and Chinese markets as
major outlets for Hasselblad.
 
  Shriro is a 90 year old family business with production and distribution
of several well-known and worldwide brands. The company has its major
operation in the Asian Pacific region. The head-office is situated in Hong
Kong and Shriro employs around 3,800 people in 13 countries and has a
turnover of more than 2.5 billion Swedish Kronor, equal to 300 million US
dollars.
 
 
  >>>'avrà anche comprata dopo averla venduta dappertutto in Asia, ma l'ha
anche chiusa.. con tutti quei quattrini che hanno.. Dove li mettono i soldi
? sulle lamborghini e il baglietto di viareggio..? Pensassero ad uno
stabilimento di posa della gelatina..
 
  The Hasselblad family started its company in 1841. Since mid 1870
Hasselblad has had its centre of operations in the same building downtown
Gothenburg. In May this year the company will move to new office and
production premises in a newly established high-tech industrial and
university area, named Norra a^?vstranden, Gothenburg.
 
  >>>, quindi anche la cazzata di Victor capitano di aviazione svedese che
usa la... per aerofotografia, poi dpo la guerra ne fa fare un'altra dalla
stessa fabbrica non per 4x5 ma per 6x6 e lui diventa benestante non è vera..
Ma che vendevano dal 1841..? I salmoni ed i merluzzi ? Mentre Corsi e la
rectaflex e la Janua di Genova morte e seppellite..
 
 
 
  The company has recently carried through a successful, worldwide launch of
a new unique camera system, built for traditional film as well as digital
photography. The H1camera, which took nearly 6 years to develop from "idea"
to a "finished product", opens up new markets for Hasselblad. Deliveries of
the new system started in December 2002.
 
  Hasselblad today has the most wide spread camera system in the world
within the medium format, the so-called V system. This system originates
from 1948 and will also in the future be an important part of the sales.
 
  During the latter part of the 90:s Hasselblad has gone through extensive
structural changes and when the company moves into the new premises the
efficiency gain will be substantial. This move marks the completion of this
period of manufacturing and product renewal, and the company is now ready to
embark into a new era.
 
On August 12, 2004, Hasselblad surprised everyone by merging with digital
image sensor developer Imacon. The new company will be called Hasselblad
Imacon. This is very good news as Imacon is one of the leading vendors of
digital backs for medium format systems. This means that we can expect even
better incorporation of digital technology into Hasselblad's cameras (most
probably only their H1 line since the V system seems to be a dead end).
