TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Sony Corp. and Olympus Corp. said Wednesday they will merge their medical businesses on April 16, after it was postponed twice due to a delay in obtaining regulatory approval overseas.
The two companies initially planned to set up the new medical equipment company, to be named Sony Olympus Medical Solutions Inc., by the end of last year.
In September, Sony and scandal-hit Olympus announced a capital and business tie-up agreement to expand their medical operations.
