Yasufumi Morimoto has been appointed senior VP Fujifilm Europe, with overall responsibility for the Graphic Systems Division in Europe.
The move coincides with the creation of a new Fujifilm organisation in Japan called the Fujifilm Global Graphic Systems Company (FFGS), which begins trading today. In addition to his appointment as the head of the Graphic Systems business in Europe, Morimoto has also been assigned as a board member of the new FFGS company in Japan.
FFGS has been formed by the integration of three organisations: Fujifilm Graphic Systems Co. Ltd., a sales, marketing and technical services subsidiary for the Japanese market, Fujifilm Simple Products Co. Ltd., a development and sales subsidiary of domestic print production workflow software, and Fujifilm Corporation’s Graphic Systems Business Division, responsible for the global development of products for the graphics market. The integration of these three separate businesses is expected to strengthen Fujifilm’s ability to market graphic systems products worldwide. The new company will be responsible for the sales, marketing and technical support of Fujifilm Graphic System’s products worldwide.
