As announced earlier this year, Plextor on the 30th of August officially transferred its optical drive business to Shinano Kenshi, an industrial group in
Japan. Sales of Plextor-branded devices will continue going forward, but the reorganization will imminently cause changes in products release and design approaches.

Shinano Kenshi takes over Plextor’s product planning, development, design, product, sales and support as a part of global reorganization and streamlining of Shinano Kenshi’s own operations. It remains to be seen whether the enlargement of Plextor’s parent company will affect Plextor’s products. and whether the impact will be positive. What can be said for sure is that products sold under Plextor trademark will remain on the market in foreseeable future.
