TOKYO - June 9, 1992 - Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation (SMCC)
announced today that it has opened its Japan Technology Center in
Kanagawa Science Park, Tokyo. The engineering center, under the
direction of Ed Ng, will build on key Japanese technologies in products
developed by SMCC for worldwide markets. The center will explore joint
development projects in areas such as peripherals, displays, input
devices, portable products and consumer electronics integration. The
center will also perform software localization and cooperative
engineering with local suppliers.
 
"Sun has always been committed to investment and growth in the Japanese
market, " said Curt Wozniak, SMCC vice president of engineering. "The
decision to locate this extension of SMCC engineering in Japan was in
part based upon the strong engineering talent located here. We think of
this organization as a "center of excellence" -- both in promoting
innovative technologies and in developing strong technology
partnerships." According to Dataquest, SMCC remains the top workstation
vendor in Japan, with Sun products having led that market since 1987.
