Nikon stop all sales in Brazil, go out
  • Nikon Corporation is optimizing R & D, Sales and Manufacturing structures in a global scale restructuring.

    As part of this process, Nikon do Brasil Ltda. - from December 31, 2017 will close the sale of cameras, lenses and photographic accessories for the Brazilian market, currently marketed exclusively through its e-commerce, the Nikon Store. The company's other business segments, including customer service and technical assistance, will continue to operate normally in Brazil.

    Products under warranty, including those marketed by Nikon Brazil's e-commerce through December 31, 2017, will continue to honor the warranty periods. For out-of-warranty products, where possible, technical assistance will be provided based on costs approved by the owners.

    São Paulo, November 6, 2017.

  • Will Nikon pull a samsung and start to pull out of markets, sounds like a path to decline.

  • Brazil is quite specific, with very big fees. Making most products hardly accessible.

  • That doesn't mean you should pull out of a 200 million people market. Plenty of tech company is still in Brazil despite the higher cost.

  • Official prices are insane here - cameras costs 2 to 3 times the US price. Hence the grey market rules here.
