FUJIFILM Holdings is a holding company with two operating companies—FUJIFILM Corporation and Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.—under its umbrella.
Due to rapid digitization, the Fujifilm Group once faced a dramatic reduction in the size of the market for photosensitive materials, then our core market. Working together to overcome this drastic change in our operating environment, the entire company has taken steps to reform its business structure. Through these efforts, we have been able to transform ourselves into a company engaged in business activities in several fields with the potential for future growth.
We are now operating in the Healthcare field, which covers life sciences, medical systems, bio CDMO, pharmaceuticals, regenerative medicine, and other businesses;
the Highly Functional Materials field, comprising business areas like display film and semiconductor materials; the Recording Media field, which includes magnetic tape for computers; the Graphic Systems & Inkjet field, where inkjet digital presses are one of several lines of business; the Optical Device & Electronic Imaging Products field, covering digital cameras, broadcast lenses; the Photo Imaging field, which includes our unique instant photo systems “instax”, and more; and the Document Solutions business field, comprising business areas like the Office product & Printers or the Solution and Services for various industries.
In November 2019, we made Fuji Xerox a wholly owned subsidiary, and Fuji Xerox will change its corporate name to “FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.” in April 2021. Under Fujifilm brand name, we will further accelerate our efforts to bolster collaboration throughout the Fujifilm Group and strive to realize growth on a Group-wide scale globally.
The Fujifilm Group operates under the corporate philosophy of using “leading-edge, proprietary technologies to provide top-quality products and services that contribute to the advancement of culture, science, technology and industry, as well as improved health and environmental protection in society.” Through those practices, the Group sets its sights on the overarching aim of helping “enhance the quality of life of people worldwide.” By embracing this vision and pursuing proactive business activities across the Group, we will NEVER STOP innovating to create new value and contributing to the resolution of a wide range of social issues.
