Yoshiki Kimura
President & Managing Director, FUJIFILM Europe GmbH
Fujifilm made the decision to acquire Hitachi Healthcare’s diagnostic imaging business as it plays a strategic role in Fujifilm’s plan to become an even more comprehensive healthcare company providing solutions. With the addition of CT, MRI, ultrasound, healthcare IT and other technologies, we will be able to create an even wider product line-up than ever before. Uniting the products and professionals of both companies will strengthen our collective ability to positively impact healthcare. In addition, this acquisition sets the company up for a competitive advantage in the medical device market as we will be able to leverage the sales and distribution channels of both Fujifilm and Fujifilm Healthcare.
In the past, Fujifilm’s main areas of activity were radiology, endoscopy, and Point of Care with FUJIFILM Sonosite. Now with FUJIFILM Healthcare, the company’s activities have expanded to include surgery, cardiology, gynaecology and urology, etc.
Finally, the two companies not only have limited product overlap, but also a great deal of unique technology. By combining these technologies with exceptional image processing, 3D analysis and endoscopes, we will create new solutions and diagnostic value, and help solve medical problems, thus achieving growth. Our motto is “Never Stop” and we are always ready to face the next challenge.
