Fujioh

What Fujioh does

FUJIOH (legal name: Fuji Industrial Co., Ltd., 富士工業株式会社) is a Japanese manufacturer of kitchen air environment products founded in 1941 and headquartered in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture. Operating under parent Fuji Holdings Co., Ltd., the company holds the No.1 domestic supply volume market share in Japanese household range hoods (per Tokyo Shoko Research, April 2021). Its core technology centers on circulation-type ventilation systems — including the proprietary Oil Smasher smoke capture technology used in the Cooking Oil Collector — that filter and recirculate indoor air without external ducting, enabling kitchen installations in spaces where traditional exhaust ventilation is impractical.

The company's product portfolio spans household range hoods (original lineup, IH-specific indoor circulation hoods, gas-company replacement units, ventilation lights, and the cookiray tabletop air purifier) and a professional commercial kitchen lineup (Cooking Oil Collector, Steam Collector for convection ovens and noodle boilers, CoCoCLEAN air purifier, Built-in Sirocco Fan, Unit Kitchen packages, and the AriaChef Pro live-cooking wagon). Complementary lines include premium ARIAFINA kitchen appliances, Demold environmental management, and Heat and Cool food manufacturing automation through wholly owned subsidiaries. The company has also developed the GCO-S01 VOC reduction air purifier in collaboration with Azabu University and Shimizu Corporation.

FUJIOH operates a dual go-to-market approach: consumer sales through the Fujioh Shop e-commerce portal, authorized dealers, showrooms, and direct channels; professional sales through the dedicated pro.fujioh.com portal, direct sales representatives, and industry events (e.g., HCJ exhibitions). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales across all segments, with secondary professional services revenue from restaurant opening support and custom equipment design. The company participates in open innovation initiatives in Kanagawa Prefecture and collaborates with academic and industrial partners across multiple verticals, including indoor agriculture (AquaPonny) and event analytics (SHIN4NY).
