Fuji Ceramics

What Fuji Ceramics does

Fuji Ceramics Corporation is a privately held Japanese specialist manufacturer of piezoelectric ceramics and piezoelectric sensors, founded on April 21, 1975 as a spin-off from the piezoelectric division of Terumo Corporation. The company operates five factories in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, with 260 employees and ¥45 million in registered capital, producing piezoelectric ceramic elements, application products (transducers, humidifiers, bubble detectors), and sensors (accelerometers, AE sensors, force sensors) used by customers in automotive, medical, industrial equipment, semiconductor, marine, precision mechanical, consumer, and welfare end-markets.

The company's technical foundation is vertically integrated production from raw piezoelectric ceramic material formulation through finished components, with proprietary know-how in dozens of PZT material variants including soft/hard PZT, lead titanate, lead metaniobate, bismuth titanate, and the newer fluorine-based V-series organic piezoelectric film. Fuji Ceramics holds unique-in-Japan calibration capability for AE sensors using absolute sensitivity calibration methods (reciprocity and sound pressure methods). The company holds IATF16949:2016 certification for automotive supply alongside ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 across all factories.

Fuji Ceramics runs a direct sales model with dedicated domestic and overseas sales departments, quoting per-unit pricing on inquiry and accepting orders ranging from single custom units to mass production runs of several million. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and revenue is not reported. Distribution relies on direct customer relationships and an optional referral to trading companies (shōsha) when requested; marketing is supported by industry trade shows, technical documentation downloads, and career fair participation. Recent strategic activity has centered on material innovation (Hard PZT C-25, V-series film), new product standards (bimorph vibrators, FUC01A cutter), and service-layer extension (JCSS vibration calibration), alongside a University of Tokyo R-CAST joint development partnership.

Core offering

Fuji Ceramics designs and manufactures piezoelectric ceramic elements, piezoelectric sensors, and piezoelectric-based applied products. The portfolio covers raw ceramic elements in multiple shapes and PZT materials, assembled transducers (Langevin, bimorph, airborne ultrasonic, humidifier, bubble detection), and measuring sensors (accelerometers, AE sensors, force sensors). Production spans single-unit custom orders to mass production runs of several million units across five factories in Fujinomiya City, with direct sales to industrial customers in Japan and overseas.

Product overview

FUJI CERAMICS is a specialized manufacturer of piezoelectric ceramics and sensors offering three core product groups: the Piezoelectric Element Product Group (raw ceramic elements in various shapes and materials including PZT, lead titanate, lead metaniobate, and bismuth titanate, plus multilayer actuators and composite ceramics), the Piezoelectric Application Product Group (assembled transducers including airborne ultrasonic sensors, Langevin transducers, humidifier transducers, bimorph transducers, bubble detection sensors, and ultra-sensitive air pressure sensors), and the Piezoelectric Sensor Group (measuring instruments including accelerometers, AE sensors, and force sensors for vibration, shock, acoustic emission, and force measurement). The company provides materials ranging from standard PZT types to specialty offerings like the new Hard PZT C-25 and V Series piezo film, serving diverse applications from industrial equipment to medical and automotive fields.
