Electronics giant Sony is to invest 30 million Euro in its Salzburg facility, according to Austrian media.

Sony DADC board Chairman Dieter Daum told the Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper the investment came on the back of the success of the Blu-ray-Disc. Daum said it had been clear since the beginning of 2008 that the Blu-ray-Disc would be the next standard DVD format and that Sony was technologically ahead of competitors in developing the new format.
