23 June 2009 – Olympus Imaging Corporation has announced the promotion of Marc Radatt from General Manager to Managing Director for Olympus in Australia, charging him with building on the impressive success and growth the company has achieved in 2008/2009.

Following a strong first quarter in 2009, Radatt looks forward to further developing and fostering Olympus’ solid relationships to build brand strength across its entire digital camera portfolio.
“Over the last four years Olympus Imaging Australia has seen incredible year on year growth. We have a strong product offering locally and we look forward to making some exciting announcements over the coming months,” said Radatt.
“I have a passion for innovation and we pride ourselves locally on the quality products that we bring to our customers. This, coupled with a more strategic approach to our business, will see the company enjoy another successful year in Australia,” Radatt concluded.
