Sony Optiarc Inc. (formerly Sony NEC Optiarc Inc.) is a subsidiary of Sony Corporation that has been shut down. The company's business was the design and manufacturing of optical disc drives, primarily for the OEM desktop and notebook PC markets.

On September 11, 2008, it was announced that Sony would take over NEC's 45% share, making Optiarc wholly owned subsidiary of Sony.[2] This took effect on December 5, 2008.[3]

In March 2013, Sony closed Sony Opitarc optical disk division.[4][5] About 400 employees were laid off globally.
