Fujifilm Holdings (MM) (NASDAQ:FUJI)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
Fujifilm announced the creation of a new company, effective today, that
simplifies and integrates all management, manufacturing and service
support for its recording media operations. The new company, FUJIFILM
Recording Media U.S.A., Inc. (FRMU), will maintain the sales and
marketing headquarters in Valhalla, NY, with manufacturing and
distribution operations continuing to be located in Bedford,
Massachusetts. FRMU will operate as an independent company within
FUJIFILM Holdings America Corporation.
With this announcement, Fujifilm is extending its commitment to provide
tape-based solutions, which are critical for storage and archiving in
today’s increasingly complex, high-capacity
data centers, as well as in broadcast and professional video
environments.
“These changes will seamlessly improve our
ability to provide faster, more efficient services and support to our
customers who face increasingly complex data storage environments
requiring more sophisticated media solutions,”
said Peter Faulhaber, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, FUJIFILM
Recording Media USA. “By combining our
world-class magnetic tape coating technology and recording products with
efficient, responsive operations and customer service based right here
in the U.S., Fujifilm is well positioned to meet the needs of our
customers and partners today and well into the future.”
FUJIFILM Magnetic Coating Technologies Play Key Role
FUJIFILM revolutionized tape manufacturing in 1992 with the introduction
of Fujifilm Advanced super Thin-layer and high-Output Metal Media
(ATOMM) dual-coated media. This technology led to unique storage
advances in products such as ZIP, DDS, DLT, SDLT and LTO.
The special die coating created for applying two separate and unique
layers then evolved to the company’s next
generation process, NANOCUBIC. FUJIFILM NANOCUBIC coating technology was
responsible for the company’s breakthrough
advances in enterprise tape technology and LTO Ultrium 4 Data Cartridge.
Fujifilm engineers recently advanced this process by optimizing barium
ferrite particles for multi-terabyte storage capacity in future
generation media.
Continuing advances in data density and cartridge capacity help keep
magnetic tape the most cost-effective form of data storage. Tape offers
both the lowest cost per/GB and is remarkably energy efficient,
significantly reducing operational and investment costs. The
Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) capability of tape makes it unalterable,
while encryption is available through data management software and now
available at the drive level with the LTO Ultrium 4 format.
