This article presents an update on the reorganization plans of Kyocera for its operations as of April 2005. Citing cut-throat competition and a difficulty in gaining traction with its brand, Kyocera has pulled its FineCam line of digital still cameras from the U.S. market and recently completed an overhaul of its optical division to focus on original electronic manufacturer technologies for digital still and camera phones. Ben LeMarca, the group's president, left the company to pursue other opportunities as have several product managers in the digital camera division. In January 2005, Kyocera ended its line of Kyocera Finecam-branded digital cameras and handed over distribution duties for its Contax-branded digital cameras to Tocad. Ed Fold, a Kyocera executive, joined Tocad as senior vice president overseeing the new Contax line and other Tocad photo accessories. According to LeMarca, the Kyocera reorganization was precipitated by the significant challenges in the U.S. consumer marketplace.
