Plextor exits CD DVD markets

Shinanokenshi (the parent company of Plextor) has decided to exit the market
for consumer CD and DVD products. The Plextor brand name will remain for
industry use products and digital playback units for the visually impaired.
Shinanokenshi has announced that their optical drive operations will be
reduced to 10% of its peak capacity. These actions will also lead to reduced
workforce at Shinanokenshi. Shinanokenshi cites increased competition from
Taiwanese and Korean manufacturers, increased pricing competition and
slumping profit margins as reasons for exiting the ODD (Optical Disk Drive)
business.

Plextor entered the CD drive market in 1990 and has produced some of the top
optical disk drives over the years. Their slogan “King of Quality”
 illustrated their goals for producing superior quality ODD products. Plextor
drives and software have introduced innovative features and groundbreaking
tools to the market over the years. Their custom software suite PlexTools
introduced consumers to many new tools and utilities that were highly
utilized by optical drive enthusiasts. The source article can be found at
shimai.co.jp in Japanese.

A large computer chain in Japan also recently reported that Plextor has
informed them that there will be no more shipments of the PX-755A or the
PX-760A DVD burners. The drives should still be available in some retail
stores, but once they sell out, they’re gone. Any Plextor fans out there
that may want another drive should probably buy one right now, while they are
still available from retail outlets.

Ian from CDRLabs.com also states, “we have not heard anything from Plextor’
s American or European subsidiaries yet. It’s possible that they may remain
in the optical drive business by rebadging drives or focusing on Blu-ray but
at this point, we’ll have to wait and see.”
