Fujifilm Invests €30 Million to Expand Semiconductor Materials Manufacturing in Europe

New expansion at FUJIFILM Electronic Materials (Europe) N.V. in Antwerp, Belgium will increase production capacity, create new jobs and help drive future technological innovation.

FUJIFILM Corporation has announced a major expansion of its semiconductor materials manufacturing capabilities in Europe, with the groundbreaking of a new €30 million expansion project at its electronic materials manufacturing site in Belgium, FUJIFILM Electronic Materials (Europe) N.V.

This project is one of Europe’s largest capital expenditure investments in the semiconductor materials supply chain over the last decade, and will see a 4000m² expansion of the facility, increasing production capacity for core components and chemicals required for semiconductor manufacturing, including cleaners, polyimides, developers, and solvents.

The project will also see the addition of on-site solar panels, as part of Fujifilm’s Sustainable Value Plan 2030. Once complete, the expansion is expected to create 25 new roles, including production and lab roles, technical and academic functions, appealing to a broad spectrum of candidates with STEM academic and professional backgrounds.

Fujifilm’s investment in electronic materials has been growing globally, with nearly €1 billion in planned investment to meet expanding demand. Our Electronic Materials business is the largest business in Fujifilm’s Advanced Materials segment, and this latest expansion marks a significant milestone in accelerating its growth.

According to Hans Vloeberghs, President & Managing Director, FUJIFILM Electronic Materials (Europe) N.V.,

“This expansion is an important part of developing the European semiconductor ecosystem, which will be crucial for society in delivering cutting-edge future technologies across the fields of automotives, energy management, healthcare, business, and current and future digital industries.”

Girls’Day2023 – 12 Girls, 12 INSTAX cameras and many new Experiences

Empowering women in a male-dominated sector such as healthcare and science in general is one of our goals at Fujiflm Europe because we believe in the power of diversity and inclusivity at the workplace.

Therefore, we can proudly share that we welcomed 12 young girls between 12 and 15 years old at our Fujifilm Europe Headquarters in Ratingen, Germany for Girls’Day 2023. The goal was to inspire and motivate the next generation of female leaders to break the gender gap in technical and scientific fields, the so-called STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics) professions.

Girls’ Day is an annual event that aims to increase the proportion of women in male-dominated fields and reduce the shortage of skilled workers in the industry. It is a day that is designed to provide young girls with the opportunity to explore a variety of STEM careers, interact with female role models, and gain hands-on experience in technology and science.

Through small games, test and feel of some of our products, especially those from our healthcare department, as well as a few theoretical background information, we wanted to show these girls what a career in this field could entail. Of course, they also had the opportunity to get an exclusive tour of our Open Innovation Hub to learn more about Fujifilm’s evolution from a camera-based company to shifting its focus to the healthcare sector.

It was not only a new and great experience for us as a company, but also our young visitors have made some unique experiences which might help them to decide which career path they would like to choose in the future.

Fujifilm’s expertise in manufacturing, processing, assembly, and other technologies allows them to deliver consistent high resolution performance in a wide range of installation environments.

Wonder Photo Shop – Fujifilm Europe Brings Back the Joy of Printing & Displaying Your Photos

The “Wonder Photo Shop” is a place where customers can come and create their own personalized photo products. The store offers a wide range of services including photo printing, album and book creation, personalized photo gifts and accessories, and even photo workshops. It is a one-stop-shop for all your photo needs.

With the rise of digital photography and the decline of film photography, the art of printing photos has somewhat been lost. The process of printing and displaying your photographs has become more difficult and less accessible, with many people opting to simply store their pictures on a computer or phone. However, the “Wonder Photo Shop” powered by Fujifilm Europe has created a new era of photo printing stores, bringing back the joy of printing and displaying your photos.

One of the most unique features of the “Wonder Photo Shop” is the Fujifilm instax range. This range offers instant film cameras and printers, allowing customers to capture and print their memories in seconds. The instax range has become increasingly popular over the years and is now available in many variations and colors, including the latest instax mini Link printer, which connects to your phone via Bluetooth.
