Nikon to sell Mark Roberts Motion Control

Nikon announced it has entered into a share purchase agreement to sell its stake in Mark Roberts Motion Control to MRMC Bidco Ltd., an entity established by Blandford Capital LLP.

The transaction follows a review of Nikon’s business portfolio, the company said. Nikon determined that transferring all shares of MRMC was the most appropriate course of action.

Nikon acquired MRMC in October 2016 and integrated the company’s robotic motion control systems with its imaging technologies and global sales channels.

“Since acquiring 100% of MRMC’s shares in October 2016, Nikon has been developing business by utilizing MRMC’s robotic motion control solution together with Nikon’s imaging related technologies and its broad sales channels,” the company said.

The company added: “As a result, Nikon has concluded that transferring all of its shares in MRMC to MRMC Bidco Limited is the most appropriate course of action, and has entered into this agreement.”

MRMC, based in Surrey, United Kingdom, designs, develops, manufactures, sells and rents robotic motion control camera equipment for media production.

The divestment comes as Nikon has expanded its presence in digital cinema, including its 2024 acquisition of RED.
