What FUJIFILM Electronic Materials does
FUJIFILM Electronic Materials Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (TSE: 4901) and a global supplier of high-purity process chemicals and materials to the semiconductor and display industries. Established in 1983 as Fuji-Hunt Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. — a joint venture with U.S.-based Philip A. Hunt Chemical Corporation — the company today operates as part of the Electronics segment of the Fujifilm Group, with a footprint of approximately 25 locations and 20 manufacturing sites spread across Japan, the United States (Rhode Island, Arizona, California, Texas, Colorado), Taiwan, South Korea, China, Singapore, Belgium, Italy, the United Kingdom, and France.
The company's product portfolio covers nearly the entire semiconductor manufacturing process from front-end to back-end, and includes photoresists, CMP (chemical-mechanical planarization) slurries, post-CMP cleaners, high-purity process chemicals, polyimides (marketed under the ZEMATES brand for protective films and rewiring layers), thin-film materials, color filter materials for image sensors (WAVE CONTROL MOSAIC brand), photolithography-related materials, and thermal interface materials for advanced packaging. Technology differentiation rests on proprietary molecular-design know-how and a notable environmental innovation: the world's first PFAS-free negative ArF immersion photoresist, positioned for advanced and AI semiconductor manufacturing nodes. The portfolio is supported by ongoing R&D (¥100B+ invested FY2021-FY2024, another ¥100B+ planned FY2025-FY2026) and recognized externally through awards including the 32nd Semiconductor of the Year 2026 Excellence Award and Samsung Electronics' Most Valuable Partner Award (November 2025).
The company operates a "local production for local consumption" commercial model, manufacturing materials close to major fab clusters and serving foundries, memory manufacturers, and OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) providers through direct enterprise sales, regional technical support, and active participation in SEMICON exhibitions across Southeast Asia, Korea, Taiwan, Europa, Japan, and West. The semiconductor materials business grew at approximately 20% CAGR from FY2021 to FY2024, with management targeting ¥500 billion in segment sales by FY2030 — approximately double the FY2024 level. Recent strategic moves include the October 2023 acquisition of Entegris' semiconductor process chemicals business (establishing the Singapore base), the February 2026 ¥5 billion equity investment in Rapidus Corporation, and ongoing capacity expansion at the Kumamoto, Shizuoka, and Oita sites in Japan.
