FUJI AND XEROX TO REORGANIZE
FUJI-XEROX
Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.
(www.fujixerox.com) (Tokyo), a joint venture between Fuji Photo Film Co.
(75%) and Xerox (25%) to develop, produce and sell products and
services in the Asia-Pacific region, has announced a reorganization. The
company has realigned and consolidated its development and
manufacturing functions to form two new companies:* Fuji
Xerox Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. will take on development functions.
* Fuji Xerox Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will manage manufacturing
functions.The companies will start operations on April 1. Fuji
Xerox is aiming for sustainable growth with the restructuring, which
enables it to weather the aggravated conditions of today’s business
environment, and also offer better cost competitiveness. At the same
time it aims to accelerate growth in new business areas, such as
services and solutions.With the establishment of this new
company, the development organization that will stay within Fuji Xerox
will focus on development of products, platform/marking technologies,
and new technologies. Fuji Xerox Advanced Technology will undertake
module development — image capture, paper feed, fax functions and
finishing devices — as well as custom development to swiftly meet
customer needs. This realignment will be accompanied by an addition of
development human resources in the growth/focus areas, such as
production products development and custom development, thereby
enhancing technological and development capabilities and enabling a
faster response to market trends.The production lines/plants in
multiple sites both in Japan and overseas, as well as relevant
back-office departments, will be consolidated to thoroughly streamline
and maximize efficiency while also enhancing manufacturing engineering
technologies including mold forming, as well as assembling technologies.Fuji
Xerox Manufacturing will consolidate Fuji Xerox Takematsu Center, which
manufactures ground toner and photoreceptors. It will also merge with
Fuji Xerox Imaging Materials Co., Ltd., which manufactures Emulsion
Aggregation (EA) toner, and consolidate the production functions of
Suzuka Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd., manufacturing key components such as
electronic parts and optical apparatus, as well as Niigata Fuji Xerox
Manufacturing Co., Ltd., manufacturing printers.In addition,
Fuji Xerox will concentrate the production of ground toner and
photoreceptors currently conducted at several sites both in Japan and
overseas, at Fuji Xerox Manufacturing Takematsu Center. It will also
shift all of the office printer production to China, to enhance cost
competitiveness through optimized operational capacity and mass
production. Other manufacturing requiring higher skills including
production printers will be conducted at Fuji Xerox Manufacturing
Niigata Center in order to enhance technological
capabilities.Manufacturing-related back-office functions of the various
companies will be gathered at Fuji Xerox Manufacturing to streamline
business processes.
