“We are very excited to start a new chapter in Fujifilm’s European history. Our Fujifilm Family will have a new home where people can feel comfortable, work in a concentrated manner and plan super as a team.” Looking at the new neighbourhood, he adds “We are very excited about the new neighbourhood in Ratingen. Mr Klaus Pesch, Mayor of Ratingen, and his team have actively supported us in our planning. We are very grateful for this and look forward to the new neighbourhood in the business location of Ratingen.”
— Toshi Iida, President and Managing Director, FUJIFILM Europe GmbH, is looking forward to the future work in these brand new Headquarters.
“I am proud that, with the multi-technology company Fujifilm, we can welcome another well-known global player to our beautiful Ratingen. The fact that Fujifilm has set up its European and German Headquarters in the new Schwarzbach-Quartier at Ratingen-Ost station clearly strengthens Ratingen as a business location.”
— Mr. Klaus Pesch, Mayor of Ratingen, welcomes FUJIFILM Europe GmbH to his city.
The new building was also planned with sustainability in mind and therefore worked with the globally used LEED certificate for sustainable construction. We are also looking forward to innovative solutions such as the 20 charging points for electric cars – these should be installed and ready for use in the near future.
This approach goes hand in hand with 70% of Ratingen’s city area being forests, fields and meadows making the city be named “the green lounge” of the area between Rhineland and Ruhr region. (1)
The Management of FUJIFILM Europe GmbH attaches great importance to the health and safety of its employees. Although government has since relaxed the COVID restrictions, Fujifilm is taking care to comply with certain well-known COVID precautions while moving into the new building. In the coming weeks, the situation will be closely monitored and the code of behaviour will be adapted to fit the situation. Therefore, Management has decided to let the employees move into the new building bit by bit as of today, so that measures such as social distancing are guaranteed.
