Fuji Photo Film, Inc., Introduces New Medical Products and Announces Further Expansion

As continued growth in the digitization of diagnostic imaging has also supported rising demand for dry medical imaging film in North America, Fuji Photo Film, Inc., based in Greenwood, South Caroline, in the United States, has been proceeding with the expansion of its medical-use film factory. In March 2003, the company completed that facility and began operating an integrated manufacturing system that performs a full range of manufacturing processes, from coating to processing. Because the range of products manufactured at the facility has been expanded to include dry medical imaging film, Fujifilm has significantly upgraded its systems for efficiently supplying customers throughout North America with our high-quality medical imaging products and related services.
In response to the rising use of computer-to-plate (CTP) printing systems, the company announced the expansion of its pre-sensitized (PS) plate factory for production of CTP printing plates. Requiring an investment of approximately $100 million, the expansion is scheduled to be completed before the end of 2004.
