JULIAN SAUVAGNARES: Olympus is what we call a med tech company. We were selling cameras, consumer cameras and microscopes. These are two businesses we, we sold a few years ago. And now we are focusing on medical devices.
SWARNA ALCORM: Olympus has become such an important part of the Lehigh Valley. We have employees that drive in from all of the five major counties surrounding Philadelphia.
RICHARD REYNOLDS: I think it's an attractive environment for a lot of the people that work here. And the real indicator of that for me is those that we've brought into the Lehigh Valley to work for Olympus, have never left.
STEPHANIE SHERRY: The Lehigh Valley offered Olympus the opportunity for employees to have a really great quality of life an affordable standard of living, as well as access to a very strong and competitive workforce that met our recruitment needs.

What keeps me here in Pennsylvania is being so close to my family, my friends, and being at such a great company that I really enjoy working at. It makes me not want to leave or go anywhere else.
SWARNA: Working in Pennsylvania has been something that I've done since I graduated college. And oftentimes people don't think about Pennsylvania when they're thinking about med tech. But there's a thriving med tech community here, and it's all fairly centrally located.
CARLOS HUAMAN: If I am able to give an advice to somebody to consider moving to Pennsylvania, you can still enjoy the four seasons, people are friendly, you have Philly, you have the Amish Country. I believe that Pennsylvania is a beautiful and historic state.
