June 3, 2016, Kyoto, Japan –– OMRON Corporation (President & CEO: Yoshihito Yamada [TSE: 6645]), today announced the completion of the sale of OMRON Oilfield and Marine, Inc. ("OOM") to Schlumberger, the global leader in oilfield services, as part of OMRON's business transformation plan. OOM has a high market share in inverter control systems for drilling equipment used by customers in the oil-drilling sector of North America's oil and gas industry and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OMRON Electronics LLC ("OEI"). OEI conducts sales and marketing of industrial automation components and systems in North America. The transaction closed on May 31, 2016.

OMRON has reviewed its portfolio of industrial automation businesses to realign them to focus operations on specific target industry areas to deliver greater value to customers.
