Fujifilm Group Celebrates 60 Years of Innovation as a Strategic Regional Hub in Singapore
01 September 2025: As Singapore commemorates its 60th year of independence, the Fujifilm Group of companies in Singapore proudly marks six decades of partnership, progress, and innovation with the nation. To mark this milestone, Fujifilm employees participated in the heartfelt “Thanks Smile Shot” initiative, which reflects the Fujifilm Group Purpose of “Giving our world more smiles”. Through this initiative, employees shared moments of joy and connection, celebrating Fujifilm’s journey alongside Singapore’s own story of growth.
Over the years, Fujifilm has continuously evolved its businesses, transitioning from its early days in photographic devices and film to diversifying into healthcare, semiconductor materials and digital transformation. This development has advanced alongside Singapore’s growth, positioning Fujifilm as a leader across various key industries.
Today, Singapore serves as a critical hub for Fujifilm, hosting five group companies and functioning as the regional headquarters for core business segments – healthcare, electronics, business innovation and imaging. With over 1,100 employees locally, Fujifilm supports customers across more than 14 Asia Pacific markets, cementing Singapore’s role as a key driver of its regional presence.
Haruto Iwata, Managing Director of FUJIFILM Asia Pacific, said, “Singapore has been at the heart of Fujifilm’s growth in Asia Pacific for the past six decades and its role will be just as vital in the decades to come. Its strategic location, skilled talent pool, and stable economy continue to empower us to be a market leader in healthcare, electronics, business innovation and imaging. Singapore plays an important role in our business expansion and remains a key launchpad for future-ready solutions that shape industries and improve lives across the region.”
In line with this vision, the group established FUJIFILM Electronic Materials (Singapore) this year, further strengthening Singapore’s role as a key supply chain hub for semiconductor manufacturers across the region. FUJIFILM Electronic Materials (Singapore) also serves as the company’s first and only semiconductor materials manufacturing site in Southeast Asia. In 2022, FUJIFILM Healthcare Asia Pacific was also established to serve the healthcare needs in this region, providing advanced medical imaging and diagnostic solutions to healthcare providers.
Lim Wey-Len, Executive Vice President, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) said “Fujifilm has been a longstanding partner to Singapore for over 60 years, reflecting strong confidence in Singapore as its regional hub to access Asia Pacific markets. The group continues to use Singapore as a base in its digitisation push and move into new areas of growth. Its investments here foster collaborative R&D and create high-quality jobs for Singaporeans across imaging, information solutions, semiconductors and healthcare sectors.”
Powering Smart, Sustainable Growth from Singapore

From its strategic hub in Singapore, the group reimagines workflows and infrastructure so that organizations can unlock greater agility, efficiency, and competitive advantage.
Masatsugu Naito, President of FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific said “Our rebranding to FUJIFILM Business Innovation was a declaration of intent. Asia Pacific’s digital acceleration demands more than incremental change – it requires rethinking how technology, sustainability and human collaboration converge. While the printing sector faces challenges, we see growing opportunities in digital transformation (DX), AI, and integrated solutions. We must be ready to adapt and embrace new business models to drive more efficient process automation in Singapore. I have already seen tangible use cases and look forward to opportunities that will be developed through collaboration with customers, partners and the broader innovation ecosystem here.”
