The Sony Group has made an offer to acquire Japanese camera lens manufacturer Tamron as part of its efforts to strengthen its camera business. Tamron said on Thursday that it has received a non-binding offer from Sony and has set up a special committee to evaluate various options for this purpose. The camera lens maker was worth around $11.2 billion on Wednesday. On Thursday, in the Tokyo market, Tamron's stock price was sought after at both rising and falling levels due to purchases far exceeding sales, with a 26% increase. No shares have been traded yet. Sony said the company is in touch with Tamron to create growth opportunities using the strengths of both companies, and believes the proposal will enhance the common interests of Tamron's stakeholders. Neither Sony nor Tamron disclosed details of the proposal, such as a takeover offer or a timeline for this potential deal. The Japanese entertainment and electronics company is one of Tamron's largest shareholders, holding about 15% of the shares as of the end of last year.
