Olympus Corporation is a Japan-based medical technology company that develops and sells diagnostic and therapeutic products for healthcare providers. Its portfolio includes gastrointestinal endoscopes, endoscopic ultrasound systems, surgical endoscopy equipment, energy devices, and other instruments used in minimally invasive procedures. The company also provides related services, accessories, and maintenance support.
Olympus serves hospitals, clinics, and medical professionals worldwide, with operations and customers across Japan, North America, Europe, Asia, and other international markets. Its technologies are used in areas such as gastroenterology, pulmonology, urology, gynecology, and general surgery.
Founded in 1919 as a manufacturer of microscopes and thermometers, Olympus introduced Japan’s first gastrocamera in 1950, helping establish its position in medical endoscopy. The company later expanded into cameras and other imaging products, but transferred its consumer imaging business to OM Digital Solutions in 2021 to concentrate on healthcare and related technologies.
