MADE IN AIZU, JAPAN
Our factory is located in Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture, about 300 km north of Tokyo. It is home to our entire production. With its clean air and water, and dedicated, hard-working people, Aizu provides the ideal environment and conditions for our operations.
Apart from a handful of processes, we develop, design, craft, assemble, and quality control all our lenses and cameras in-house there. This includes grinding lenses, molding plastic parts, painting, mounting substrates, assembly, manufacturing screws and other components, and machining molds.
Our approach gives us the freedom to develop camera optics without the compromises of others, allowing us to hone our craft and quickly turn new ideas into solutions. The result is authentic "Made in Aizu, Japan" quality.
GLOBAL PRESENCE, LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY
The history of our Aizu factory is intertwined with the history of Sigma. From the moment we first established a factory in Aizu, our focus has been on growing and developing as a member of the local community. As a company, we believe we have an economic, cultural, and ethical responsibility to the local community. While the global market may be our primary business focus, our responsibility always begins at home.
