What 富士工業株式会社 does

富士工業株式会社 (Fuji Kogyo Co., Ltd.) is a Japanese specialty manufacturer of material-dispersed wallpaper (素材散布壁紙), a niche product category in which the company is one of approximately five global producers. Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Fukui City with a Tokyo sales office, Fuji Kogyo's proprietary process uniformly scatters natural aggregates (vermiculite, marble, silica sand, diatomaceous earth) and recycled aggregates (rice hulls, wood powder, olefin offcuts, glass beads, scallop shell powder) onto paper or fleece backing, producing textured, matte, or glossy finishes sold across five collections (G-, V-, A-, M-, P-) and eight product lines priced ¥3,000–¥13,000 per meter. The company also operates a Canon Colorado 1650 UVgel digital printer for on-demand custom wallpapers, holds a 2013 patent on Heat Coverings (sheet-shaped insulation), and maintains a dense certification stack (non-combustible, JIS, CE, RAL, SV, F☆☆☆☆) that supports both domestic and EU export access.

The business model is B2B distribution-led: in Japan, all sales flow through approximately nine major interior-materials distributors (Sangetsu, Sincol, Rurika, Toray, Runon, Tokiwa, Tomita, Kyokko, Iwasaki Teizo), while exports go to Belgium, the United States, and South Korea. A consumer-facing catalog site (Accent Wall) and direct contact-form sales provide a secondary channel for architects, interior designers, and individual consumers. The company is privately held, employs 25 people, has ¥50 million in registered capital, no parent company, no outside investors, and generates revenue (undisclosed) from finished wallcovering rolls under its brand collections and from custom on-demand prints. Industry association memberships (Japan Wallcovering Association, Wallpaper Standards Council, Textile and Paper Wallpaper Industry Association) and recent awards (SMB Expert Award 2026, Fukui Representative Companies 100) function as marketing channels rather than growth drivers.

Core offering

富士工業株式会社 manufactures and sells material-dispersed wallpaper (素材散布壁紙), a niche wallcovering category in which natural aggregates (vermiculite, marble, pulp, silica sand, diatomaceous earth) and recycled aggregates (rice hulls, wood powder, olefin resin offcuts, glass beads, scallop shell powder) are uniformly scattered onto wallpaper backing paper using proprietary dispersion technology. The portfolio spans five collections (G, V, A, M, P) and eight product lines (Luminous, Lattice-Stripe, Silhouette-Brick, Marble, FUZZY, MICA, Denim, Luminous-Stones), sold by the meter at ¥3,000–¥13,000 to interior material distributors and direct B2B buyers, plus on-demand custom digital printing using a Canon Colorado 1650 UVgel printer.

Product overview

富士工業株式会社 is a specialist manufacturer of 素材散布 wallpaper (material-scattered wallpaper), a niche product made by uniformly scattering and adhering various natural and recycled material aggregates onto backing paper. The company operates as a single-product-line manufacturer organized around its core 素材散布 wallpaper technology, with its product portfolio structured into five named collections — G-Collection, V-Collection, A-Collection, M-Collection, and P-Collection — spanning eight distinct product lines (Luminous, Lattice-Stripe, Silhouette-Brick, Marble, FUZZY, MICA, Denim, Luminous-Stones). Each product line varies in base printing method (gravure, inkjet, or digital print), aggregate type (glass beads, vermiculite, mica, marble, pulp chips, rice hulls, olefin resin), texture effect (embossed, metallic, glossy, matte), fire-resistance rating, and price tier. Materials used include natural aggregates (vermiculite, marble, silica sand, diatomaceous earth) and recycled aggregates (rice hulls, wood powder, olefin resin offcuts, glass beads, scallop shell powder). The company also offers a digital printing on-demand service using a Canon Colorado 1650 UVgel printer, enabling custom designs and small-lot production. Products are sold primarily in Japan through major wallpaper distributors (Sangetsu, Sincol, Lilac, Toray, Renon, Tokiwa, Tomita, Asahi, Iwasaki) and exported to Belgium, the United States, and South Korea.
