Otsu, Japan, Thursday, December 20, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) --

OPTEX CO., LTD. (TOKYO:6914) is pleased to announce the establishment of two local subsidiaries - OPTEX PINNACLE INDIA PVT. LIMITED in India, and OPTEX DO BRASIL LTDA. in Brazil. OPTEX PINNACLE INDIA PVT. LIMITED is positioned as a joint venture between OPTEX and local consulting firm Pinnacle Sourcing & Consultancy, with its offices located in Gurgaon, India. OPTEX DO BRASIL LTDA is a wholly owned subsidiary of OPTEX CO. LTD., located in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

At OPTEX, one of the essential corporate objectives is to enhance the company's presence in newly emerging nations. The launch of these new subsidiaries will serve to bolster its sales and technical capacity in two key markets - primarily to support outdoor security products. We are confident that localization of such business functions will be instrumental in raising customer satisfaction in the outdoor security market, a field in which timely product support is critical. Efforts will also be redoubled to develop a steady stream of unique new product offerings that reflect local market demand.

OPTEX PINNACLE INDIA

[Comments by Nori Ueda, Managing Director, OPTEX PINNACLE INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED]

"In India, security guards are currently utilized as the main solution for security needs. As a result, the introduction of electronic security systems has lagged behind the use levels seen in other countries. However, as the Indian economy continues to grow and labor costs rise, projections are for a shift to demand for greater use of electronic security. As this change comes to pass, it will be vital to provide solutions closely in tune with the culture and the customs of India."

[Comments by Himanshu Kapoor, Director, OPTEX PINNACLE INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED (Managing Director of Pinnacle Sourcing & Consultancy)]

"Pinnacle Sourcing & Consultancy is delighted to be entering into a strategic alliance with OPTEX, and we are confident that this marks the start of an enduring win-win relationship. OPTEX-Pinnacle will work to meet the expanding needs of the Indian security industry with a host of innovative high-tech products from OPTEX. Teamed with Pinnacle's profound knowledge of the local market, the new company will excel in delivering superior value to all stakeholders."
