Join us as we take a stroll down memory lane!  

Celebrating 90 with a Smile! 

This year, we celebrated our 90th anniversary!  

To honor our 90-year journey, we introduced our first-ever Fujifilm Group Purpose to showcase our value to society and our role in this ever-evolving world.  

For nine decades, the Fujifilm Group has brought together diverse ideas, unique capabilities and extraordinary people whose work and innovative spirit brought smiles to people around the world (quite literally!) and with our Purpose of “giving our world more smiles” as our guiding light, we look forward to continuing to connect with people from all walks of life through our wide range of products and services. Thank you for being with us!

Our Corporate Responsibility 

Celebrating the power of diverse stories and experiences from our employees drives our dedication to expanding and redefining diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) at Fujifilm. This year members of our DE&I committee from Canada to Colombia gathered in our New York office to host the inaugural Americas DE&I Summit. During this 3-day event, members engaged in conversations around enhancing Fujifilm’s DE&I strategies and vision, how to foster effective change through employee and leadership-driven collaboration and developing strategies to communicate Fujifilm DE&I goals and achievements to internal and external communities.

New School Technology with a Nod to The Old School  

While Fujifilm has expanded beyond film, we’ve never forgotten where we came from and how our roots in imaging play a role in all aspects of our business. 

The INSTAX PAL showcased how something tiny can be oh so mighty. It’s the perfect addition to any photography project big or small as shown in this viral “tiny foods” video by creator @myminiaturelife_yt.  

Moving from cameras to healthcare... 

Our healthcare and life sciences teams were a clear example of how Fujifilm is working to create a happier and healthier world for all.

This year, our FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation employees traveled to over 50 conferences and tradeshows from Seattle to Singapore showcasing our full range of medical solutions from our, endoscopy, enterprise imaging, in-vitro diagnostics, and surgical and diagnostic imaging businesses. 

FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc. displayed the power of AI in healthcare through the launch of their Voice Assist AI technology. Sonosite Voice Assist redefines ease of use in the point-of-care ultrasound category and gives clinicians hands-free control, so they can dedicate their full attention to what matters most: their patients.

Our Life Sciences teams met in sunny San Diego to showcase the latest in biotech, cell therapy and pharmaceuticals during BIO 2024. FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics, Inc, FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals USA, FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific, FUJIFILM Toyama Chemical / FUJIFILM Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. showcased their commitment to being #PartnersForLife through their expansive portfolio of life science innovations and expertise as well as hosted 8 in-booth presentations from the brightest minds in the industry.  

During drupa 2024, our FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc. team introduced the SKYFIRE SF600 inkjet printhead. The SKYFIRE SF600 inkjet printhead leverages FUJIFILM Dimatix’ proprietary piezoelectric inkjet technology based on proven silicon Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (Si-MEMS) fabrication techniques, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to the transition from analog to digital inkjet printing and exploration of emerging markets and applications. 

At PRINTING United 2024, FUJIFILM Graphic Communication Division unveiled an immersive experience that offered attendees a look inside the J Press 1160CFG. This high-speed, full-color inkjet printer was brought to life through augmented reality, allowing visitors to explore its advanced drying mechanisms, high-definition print heads, and precision-engineered performance like never before. 

The Celebration Continues with Outstanding Awards and Notable Anniversaries

Did you know that Fujifilm has a role in connecting our world as a vital manufacturer in the supply chain of the semiconductor industry? This history along with the stellar work by our employees helped FUJIFILM Electronic Materials U.S.A., Inc. s create some buzz in the industry.

The award represents the businesses exemplary performance in the areas of cost, environmental and social responsibility, technology, responsiveness, assurance of supply, and quality. 

We can’t celebrate 90 years without honoring FUJIFILM VisualSonics, Inc.'s 25th anniversary! For a quarter century the business has been an industry leader in designing and manufacturing ultra-high frequency ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging systems for medical research and has systems in most of the major research institutes and hospitals around the world. 

Fujifilm and Our Community

We’re dedicated to making a difference—not only through innovation but also by fostering meaningful connections with the communities we serve. This year, we celebrated creativity at the Create With Us event in Austin, Texas, where hundreds of fans joined FUJIFILM Electronic Imaging Division and Optical Devices for hands-on workshops, inspiring talks, and an immersive experience with our latest cameras and lenses. We proudly supported the charity: water project to capture and share printed memories using their cameras, bringing smiles and stories to life for families in need.

At Fujifilm, we not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. Local area employees proudly participated in the Westchester Heart Walk, supporting the American Heart Association’s mission to fight heart disease. The Women in Sonosite group joined a breast cancer awareness walk, standing in solidarity with those affected and reflecting on the life-saving power of early detection and medical imaging. 

Another highlight this year was our FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific team showing up to support the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) walk at Disneyland. The magical morning aligned perfectly with our overall purpose of giving our world more smiles. While our innovations drive excellence in science and healthcare, it’s events like the CHOC walk that allow us to give back in meaningful ways and extend those smiles beyond just our customers.

There are many more standout moments we’d love to include, but you’d be reading this until the end of 2025. 😉  

To our employees, creators, partners, and customers thank you for being part of our Fujifilm family and for another year of growth and of course, lots of smiles along the way. Cheers to 2025!
