Pacific Corporation was established in Osaka, Japan in 1978. Headquarters was moved to Tokyo in 1985 and in 1992 the present headquarters building was completed. December 1996 saw the completion of a dedicated R & D centre at Hakone and in March 1997 the European Sales and Service Centre was established in Brussels.
In December 1998, Pacific Corp received approval for EMC testing by AVI on the test labs, making the company one of the first in Japan capable of issuing full CE approval on its products. In February 1999, the new main production plant was completed in Kawasaki, Japan enabling production of up to 2 000 board cameras each working day and maintaining Pacific's position as the largest producer of board cameras in Japan.
Sales in 2003 were in excess of 27 M.€uros, which was achieved with the aid of a network of offices in New York, Los Angeles, Sao Paulo, Sydney, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai, Milan, Madrid and Brussels.
As well as offering a range of finished products, Pacific is also well known for its medium to high quality board cameras and displays. Attention to detail is paramount, such as reduction of power consumption and heat dissipation, PC based software camera settings selection and three lines of quality control on the production line. The philosophy of the company is to build to a specification with a price in mind, rather than to target sales based on price alone, and for this reason the customer base is made up largely of OEM users building high value finished items and distributors with a wide range of quality products.
