I haven't seen official information about that. However, it is widely
believed it is for Pentax world cost cut policy.
I've also heard rumors of job cuts at Pentax Germany/Europe, but cannot
confirm that.
In Italy, those 8 folks working for Pentax in Florence sales dept. for years
are no longer there (all fired or retired in advance).
Their office has been closed one month ago and now there are just 5 (new)
people in Milan premises of the Italian distributor.
Bye,

Is there a public reason why they close it?

Quoting Dario Bonazza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I've just been informed of the sad decision to close the Pentax Benelux
branch and the relevant repair lab next April. That lab in Breda is the
most
renowned Pentax service, the only one capable to solve the hardest
technical
problems for all European branches of Pentax.
A petition to Pentax against this move is undergoing here.
