expansion

Just a few months after its initial launch SkinTone Product Suite, Pantone has expanded it with a new guide that includes added shades and compatibility across multiple platforms.

Nikon is considering reinvestment in mainland Japan manufacturing through a new expansion of its facility in Otawara City, which currently hosts its only remaining Japan-based optics factory.

GoPro wants to expand its camera line to more than just its current Hero and Max cameras. According to CEO Nick Woodman, the company will add two more models in the next year.

Other World Computing (OWC) has launched what it is calling the world's first Thunderbolt 4 certified storage and hub expansion solution, the miniStack STX. It fits perfectly under a Mac Mini and adds a ton of additional ports and storage capacity.

Since its birth a decade ago in 2006, the Chinese company DJI has rapidly grown into the world's leader in consumer camera drones. Now the company is soaring to new heights with the opening of its first shiny retail location where consumers can get their hands on the drones in person, directly from the company.

Back in July 2015, we reported that 500px had raised an additional $13 million in funding led by China's equivalent of Getty Images, the Visual China Group. The move suggested that 500px was working hard to offer its massive archive of 55 million images to photo buyers in Asia.

Today, 500px announced that it is officially expanding into China with the unveiling of a new website, 500px.me.

Over the last couple of months, a political skirmish between Japan and China over the ownership of a set of islands has caused anti-Japanese protests all across China, affecting many of the Japanese manufacturing facilities. Some companies -- most notably Panasonic and Canon -- were forced to shut down operations and evacuate their premises as a result of the violent protests. Things got so bad that Chinese photographers had to camouflage their Japanese-brand cameras with red tape and Chinese flags.

Despite the political atmosphere in the world's most populous nation, Canon has China squarely in its sights as it plans its next moves for international expansion.
