Fujifilm Corporation and its affiliates employ nearly 40,000 people worldwide. Capitalized at 40 billion yen (€244m), the Japan-founded company, which started with a strong focus on cameras and film, has now diversified to provide products and services in Healthcare (Medical Systems, Bio-CDMO, and LS Solutions), Electronics (Semiconductor Materials, Display Materials, and Other Electronics Materials), and Imaging (Consumer Imaging and Professional Imaging).
Shippeo works with Fujifilm Europe, covering nearly 250,000 shipments/year, with an 80/20 split between parcels and road. Ocean containers, rail and air are also used, albeit to a lesser extent.
Given Fujifilm’s highly diversified activities, shipments can vary from industrial printing equipment weighing several tons to tiny spare parts no heavier than a few grams.
These are mostly shipments originating from central warehouses throughout Europe, with some of the tracked shipments starting their journey from the factories in Asia.
