Fujitsu is one of the world's leading manufacturers of computers and communications systems. One reason for Fujitsu's success in these areas has been the ability to develop high-quality, high-performance electronic components, including advanced printed wiring boards (PWBs), for these systems. Fujitsu ranks among the top three PWB suppliers in the world today in terms of factory capacity, manufacturing technology, process know-how and investment dollars in new process/technology R&D.
From single-sided PWBs in the late 1950s, Fujitsu developed the technology for double-sided, non-through hole plated multilayer PWB for use in one of the leading computers of its time. At the same time, the company took the initiative to research polyimide materials for use as base substrates.
In 1972, Fujitsu's Nagano plant was opened as a production facility to meet a growing requirement for multilayer PWBs. To meet this need, the plant initially produced high-density polyimide PWBs with 10 to 14 layers. The Nagano plant has continued to innovate and has now become the first in the world to produce 42-layer PWBs in volume.
In 1983, Fujitsu opened a highly automated plant in Akashi to meet increasing needs for volume production and higher quality.
For over 35 years, Fujitsu's products have built a reputation for leading-edge technology and consistently high quality. Through extensive R&D, the company ensures that Fujitsu will continue to be a name you can rely on for multilayer PWBs you need for all kinds of electronic systems.
