History

[edit]

1935 to 2000

[edit]

Fujitsu was established on June 20, 1935, which makes it one of the oldest operating IT companies after IBM and before Hewlett-Packard,[3] under the name Fuji Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing (富士電気通信機器製造, Fuji Denki Tsūshin Kiki Seizō), as a spin-off of the Fuji Electric Company, itself a joint venture between the Furukawa Electric Company and the German conglomerate Siemens which had been founded in 1923. Despite its connections to the Furukawa zaibatsu, Fujitsu escaped the Allied occupation of Japan after the Second World War mostly unscathed.

In 1954, Fujitsu manufactured Japan's first computer, the FACOM 100 mainframe,[4][5] and in 1961 launched its second generation computers (transistorized) the FACOM 222 mainframe.[6] The 1968 FACOM230 "5" Series marked the beginning of its third generation computers.[7] Fujitsu offered mainframe computers from 1955 until at least 2002[8] Fujitsu's computer products have also included minicomputers,[9] small business computers,[10] servers[11] and personal computers (FM-8, FM-7, FM-Towns, etc.).[12]

In 1955, Fujitsu founded Kawasaki Frontale as a company football club; Kawasaki Frontale has been a J. League football club since 1999. In 1967, the company's name was officially changed to the contraction Fujitsū (富士通). Since 1985, the company also fields a company American football team, the Fujitsu Frontiers,[13] who play in the corporate X-League, appeared in 7 Japan X Bowls, winning two, and won two Rice Bowls.

In 1971, Fujitsu signed an OEM agreement with the Canadian company Consolidated Computers Limited (CCL) to distribute CCL's data entry product, Key-Edit. Fujitsu joined both International Computers Limited (ICL) which earlier began marketing Key-Edit in the British Commonwealth of countries as well as in both western and eastern Europe; and CCL's direct marketing staff in Canada, USA, London (UK) and Frankfurt. Mers Kutt, inventor of Key-Edit and founder of CCL, was the common thread that led to Fujitsu's later association with ICL and Gene Amdahl.

In 1986, Fujitsu and The Queen's University of Belfast business incubation unit (QUBIS Ltd) established a joint venture called Kainos, a privately held software company based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[14][15]

In 1990, Fujitsu acquired 80% of the UK-based computer company ICL for $1.29 billion.[16][17] In September 1990, Fujitsu announced the launch of a new series of mainframe computers which were at that time the fastest in the world.[18][19] In July 1991, Fujitsu acquired more than half of the Russian company KME-CS (Kazan Manufacturing Enterprise of Computer Systems).

This INR 116-crore project was set up by Fujitsu for the manufacture of Electronic Digital Exchange, with Fujitsu holding a 51 percent stake in the venture. Concurrently, Fujitsu established a new subsidiary, Fujitsu Networks Industry Inc., in Stamford, Connecticut, to develop communications services.[20]

In 1992, Fujitsu also introduced the world's first 21-inch full-color plasma display. It was a hybrid, based upon the plasma display created at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and NHK STRL, achieving superior brightness.

In 1993, Fujitsu formed a flash memory manufacturing joint venture with AMD, Spansion. As part of the transaction, AMD contributed its flash memory group, Fab 25 in Texas, its R&D facilities and assembly plants in Thailand, Malaysia and China; Fujitsu provided its Flash memory business division and the Malaysian Fujitsu Microelectronics final assembly and test operations.[21]

From February 1989 until mid-1997, Fujitsu built the FM Towns PC variant. It started as a proprietary PC variant intended for multimedia applications and computer games, but later became more compatible with regular PCs. In 1993, the FM Towns Marty was released, a gaming console compatible with the FM Towns games.

Fujitsu agreed to acquire the 58 percent of Amdahl Corporation (including the Canada-based DMR consulting group) that it did not already own for around $850 million in July 1997.[22]

In April 1997, the company acquired a 30 percent stake in GLOVIA International, Inc., an El Segundo, Calif., manufacturing ERP software provider whose software it had begun integrating into its electronics plants starting in 1994.[23]

In June 1999, Fujitsu's historical connection with Siemens was revived, when the two companies agreed to merge their European computer operations into a new 50:50 joint venture called Fujitsu Siemens Computers, which became the world's fifth-largest computer manufacturing company.[24]

Advertising

[edit]

The old slogan "The possibilities are infinite" can be found below the company's logo on major advertisements and ties in with the small logo above the letters J and I of the word Fujitsu. This smaller logo represents the symbol for infinity. As of April 2010, Fujitsu is in the process of rolling out a new slogan focused on entering into partnerships with its customers and retiring the "possibilities are infinite" tagline. The new slogan is "shaping tomorrow with you".[81]

Horizon scandal

[edit]
Main article: British Post Office scandal

Fujitsu designed, developed and operated the Horizon IT system which was at the centre of the legal dispute between the UK Post Office and its sub-postmasters. The case, still unsettled, found that the IT system was unreliable and that faults in the system caused discrepancies in branch accounts which were not the responsibility of the postmasters themselves. Mr Justice Fraser, the judge hearing the case, noted that Fujitsu had given "wholly unsatisfactory evidence" and there had been a "lack of accuracy on the part of Fujitsu witnesses in their evidence".[82] Following his concerns, Fraser sent a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions.[83]

Fujitsu was also found to have pressured the UK government to sign off the controversial and faulty IT system that, as a result of its faulty operation, resulted in numerous UK postmasters and sub-postmasters being accused falsely, and subsequently convicted of theft, false accounting and fraud, with consequences including imprisonment and monetary reparations. Of the hundreds of people affected, as of January 2024 only around 1 in 9 of those convicted have had their convictions overturned, whereas others have died due to the length of time that has elapsed, or have taken their own lives in the wake of their wrongful convictions. Although there has been some media coverage of organised legal appeals by groups of those affected, the matter has recently gained enhanced attention by mainstream media and the wider public as a whole, and is currently being acted upon by authorities in an attempt to accelerate and automate the clearing of the names of all those wrongly convicted, who until now were required to launch their own legal appeals in order to have their names cleared.[84][85]

Environmental record

[edit]

Fujitsu reports that all its notebook and tablet PCs released globally comply with the latest Energy Star standard.[86]

Greenpeace's Cool IT Leaderboard of April 2013 "examines how IT companies use their considerable influence to change government policies that will drive clean energy deployment" and ranks Fujitsu 4th out of 21 leading manufacturers, on the strength of "developed case study data of its solutions with fairly transparent methodology, and is the leading company in terms of establishing ambitious and detailed goals for future carbon savings from its IT solutions."[87]

History

Founding and Prewar Origins (1923–1945)

Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. was established on August 29, 1923, through a capital and technology alliance between Japan's Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. and Germany's Siemens AG, prompted by the Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1, 1923, which destroyed much of Tokyo's electrical and communications infrastructure and underscored the need for domestic heavy electrical equipment production, including generators and motors. Fuji Electric's communications activities began in 1925 with the import and sale of telephones and switching systems; by 1934, the Ministry of Posts and had designated it an official producer of step-by-step automatic switching systems, reflecting growing national emphasis on self-reliant amid Japan's industrialization and expansion. On June 20, 1935, Fuji Tsūshinki Seizō Kabushiki Kaisha (Fuji Manufacturing Co., Ltd.), the direct predecessor to Fujitsu Limited, was spun off from Fuji Electric's communications division as an independent entity with 3 million yen in capital and about 700 employees, tasked with manufacturing telephone switching gear and related equipment to support Japan's expanding telecom network. Fujitsu received Ministry of Posts recognition in 1937 for its non-loaded cable carrier transmission devices and completed a dedicated Kawasaki factory in 1938 to consolidate production. In 1940, it delivered Japan's inaugural domestically produced automatic switching system, advancing crossbar technology independence from foreign suppliers. Wartime demands from 1941 onward shifted focus toward ; Fujitsu opened the Suzaka plant in 1942 for of telephones and switching apparatus, bolstering Japan's imperial infrastructure amid mobilization. By August 1945, at the conclusion of hostilities, the firm had approved the Type 3 telephone set design, positioning it for immediate postwar recovery efforts despite Allied occupation scrutiny of its ties.

Postwar Reconstruction and Computing Pioneering (1946–1970s)

Following , Fujitsu prioritized the restoration of Japan's , leveraging its prewar expertise in switching to support national recovery efforts. In 1946, the company established a sales office to facilitate distribution amid economic rebuilding. By 1954, Fujitsu developed a miniaturized M-type carrier transmission device, which contributed directly to the Public Corporation's (NTT) postwar reconstruction of long-distance communication lines, enabling more efficient voice and data transmission across the archipelago. These initiatives aligned with Japan's broader economic stabilization under U.S. occupation policies, where served as a foundational sector for industrial revival, with Fujitsu's type 3 telephone sets gaining official approval from the Ministry of Posts to restore civilian connectivity. Fujitsu's pivot to computing began in the early , driven by domestic needs for in administration and , independent of early foreign partnerships unlike some competitors. In , it unveiled the FACOM 100, Japan's inaugural practical relay-based automatic computer, designed under the guidance of professor Hideo Yamashita for tasks like data tabulation and control calculations. This was followed in 1956 by the FACOM 128A, Fujitsu's first commercially shipped computer, occupying 70 square meters and weighing approximately 3 tons, which processed for business applications. These relay systems built on Fujitsu's telecom relay technology, marking an indigenous effort to scale from experimental projects like the government-funded FONTAC toward practical machines, amid Japan's push for technological self-reliance. The late 1950s and 1960s saw Fujitsu pioneer transitions to advanced architectures, adopting Japan's parametron technology—a ferromagnet-based logic invented domestically as an interim alternative to scarce transistors—before fully embracing semiconductors. In 1958, the FACOM 200 parametron computer was introduced, alongside the , Japan's first numerically controlled for precision manufacturing. By 1959, the FACOM 212 parametron model was delivered to the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association, facilitating industry-wide testing. Fujitsu's first transistorized large-scale business computer, the FACOM 222, debuted in 1961, enhancing speed and reliability for enterprise data processing. The FACOM 230 series, launched with the 230-10 model in 1965, achieved domestic dominance, securing over 1,000 orders within five years through modular design and compatibility with peripheral equipment. By 1968, the FACOM 230-60 variant powered Japan's first nationwide online regional bank network, processing real-time transactions and underscoring Fujitsu's role in financial digitization. These developments positioned Fujitsu as a leader in Japan's computer industry, fostering export beginnings with the 1963 shipment of a FACOM 212 to the Philippines and contributing to the sector's growth under Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) policies aimed at import substitution.

Diversification into Electronics and Global Expansion (1980s–1990s)

During the 1980s, Fujitsu expanded its product portfolio beyond mainframe computers into semiconductors and personal computing systems, establishing dedicated production facilities to support these areas. In 1980, the company opened the Iwate Plant, consolidating memory chip mass production, which bolstered its semiconductor capabilities. The following year, Fujitsu launched the FM-8 personal computer and opened the San Diego Plant in the United States for semiconductor manufacturing, marking early steps in consumer-oriented electronics. By 1983, it introduced the world's first CMOS 256 KB EPROM, advancing non-volatile memory technology, and entered the supercomputer market with its inaugural model. Further plant openings in 1984, including Dallas, Mie, and Wakamatsu for large-scale integration (LSI) production, enabled high-volume semiconductor output. Fujitsu's push into personal and networked electronics continued through the decade, with the 1980 release of the OASYS100 Japanese word processor and the 1984 introduction of the COINS corporate information network system to facilitate enterprise connectivity. In telecommunications, the company launched the world's first commercial ISDN service in in 1988 using its FETEX-150 switching system, extending its electronics diversification into digital communications infrastructure. The 1990s saw refinement in consumer products, including the 1993 FMV series of PC/AT-compatible computers and, by 1998, development of NAND-type , which supported portable devices. These efforts positioned Fujitsu as a vertically integrated player, with annual semiconductor sales reaching approximately $2.5 billion by 1987 amid Japan's boom. Parallel to electronics growth, Fujitsu pursued global expansion through overseas investments and acquisitions to access international markets and technologies. Listing on the London Stock Exchange in 1981 and Swiss exchanges in 1983 enhanced its visibility to foreign investors. A pivotal move came in 1990 with the acquisition of an 80% stake in the UK's International Computers Ltd. (ICL) for £700 million ($1.3 billion), securing a European foothold and mainframe expertise; full ownership followed in 1998. In the United States, Fujitsu completed its takeover of —initially partnered since the 1970s—making it a wholly owned in 1997, while establishing Fujitsu PC Corporation in , in 1996 for mobile computing. Joint ventures proliferated, including collaborations with on mainframes and, in 1999, the formation of as a 50/50 entity for European operations. These initiatives diversified revenue streams, though they faced challenges from Japan's economic downturn, with profits plummeting 85% between 1990 and 1991 before recovery.

Shift to Services and Digital Transformation (2000–2010)

In the early 2000s, Fujitsu intensified its transition from hardware-centric operations to IT services and solutions amid intensifying global competition in and , where eroded margins on products like servers and PCs. The company leveraged its established European foothold through the 1990 acquisition of ICL, which had been restructured into Fujitsu Services, to expand , , and consulting offerings that promised recurring revenue streams less vulnerable to hardware cycles. A pivotal move occurred on February 15, 2000, when Fujitsu announced its intent to acquire full ownership of GLOVIA International LLC, securing the remaining 70% stake by April 2000 to enhance its (ERP) software capabilities and integrate them into service bundles for manufacturing clients. This acquisition complemented Fujitsu's push into application services, enabling customized digital solutions for and at a time when enterprises sought integrated IT to navigate the post-dot-com recovery.

Controversies

Horizon IT Scandal: Origins and Fujitsu's Role

The Horizon IT scandal originated with the rollout of the system to Post Office branches, beginning with pilots in 1996 and full implementation across over 18,000 branches from 1999 to 2000, replacing manual paper-based processes with automated transaction tracking and stock management. Developed initially by ICL and completed after Fujitsu's 1998 acquisition of the company, the system was marketed as robust but exhibited defects from inception, including software bugs that generated erroneous account shortfalls shortly after deployment. These discrepancies, often amounting to hundreds or thousands of pounds, prompted the to initiate private prosecutions against subpostmasters for , , and false , resulting in over 900 wrongful convictions between 1999 and 2015. Fujitsu, as the system's supplier and maintainer under a long-term contract valued in the hundreds of millions of pounds, played a central role by possessing detailed knowledge of the software's vulnerabilities yet failing to disclose them adequately to the Post Office or courts. Internal records and inquiry evidence indicate Fujitsu engineers identified bugs as early as 1999, including issues with data replication and transaction processing that could fabricate shortfalls, but the company prioritized system continuity over transparency, with senior staff affirming Horizon's reliability in expert witness testimonies during trials. For instance, Fujitsu's then-UK head described the system as akin to "Fort Knox" in communications with Post Office executives, despite awareness of flaws that a 2019 High Court judgment later deemed made Horizon "not remotely robust" from 2000 to 2010. Compounding these issues, Fujitsu maintained unrestricted and often unauditable remote access to branch terminals from around 2000, enabling engineers to log in, alter transaction data, and insert or delete entries without subpostmasters' knowledge or audit trails—capabilities that could both cause and conceal discrepancies. Fujitsu witness , who provided court evidence in multiple cases, acknowledged the technical feasibility of such access but downplayed its extent or implications during prosecutions, later facing investigations for omissions. This access, combined with Fujitsu's provision of data extracts purporting to show no systemic errors, lent false credibility to the Post Office's defense of Horizon, delaying recognition of the faults until independent second sight reviews in 2012-2013 confirmed bugs affecting multiple branches. Fujitsu's former chief has since conceded that opportunities to avert convictions were missed, though the company maintains the problems stemmed from user errors rather than inherent design flaws—a position contested by evidence of persistent, unreported defects. The Horizon prompted intense public and governmental scrutiny of Fujitsu, culminating in the July 2025 interim report of the independent , which detailed systemic bugs, errors, and defects in the Horizon software developed and maintained by the company from 1999 onward. Inquiry chair Sir Wyn Williams mandated that Fujitsu, alongside the government and , publish a joint or separate report by October 31, 2025, assessing agreed redress measures for affected subpostmasters, reflecting ongoing pressure for corporate accountability without immediate enforceable penalties. Legally, Fujitsu has faced no criminal convictions or direct fines as of October 2025, though a 2019 ruling confirmed Horizon's faults caused discrepancies leading to over 900 wrongful prosecutions between 1999 and 2015. The company has committed to cooperating fully with the inquiry's Phase 7, focused on its conduct, but critics, including MPs, have highlighted delays in evidence disclosure and argued for potential civil liabilities or contractual clawbacks from existing deals. responses emphasize voluntary contributions over litigation, with no prosecutions initiated against Fujitsu executives despite admissions of software flaws known internally for years. Financially, Fujitsu injected £80 million into its UK subsidiary in October 2025 to address Horizon-related obligations, part of a broader £280 million equity infusion from its Japanese parent over the prior two years to bolster liquidity amid liabilities. UK ministers urged Fujitsu in July 2025 to make interim compensation payments to victims, with parliamentary proposals suggesting contributions up to £300 million or half of total redress costs exceeding £1 billion, though the firm has not yet disbursed direct payouts, relying instead on parent funding to sustain operations. Despite these pressures, Fujitsu secured £419.2 million in UK public sector contracts through October 2025, including a £220 million data center deal, indicating limited short-term revenue disruption. Reputational fallout has been pronounced, with Fujitsu suspending bids for new UK government contracts pending the inquiry's conclusion, a self-imposed measure announced in response to public outrage and media coverage equating the scandal to one of Britain's largest miscarriages of justice. Advocacy groups and politicians, including calls from Welsh officials, have demanded blacklisting from public tenders, citing ethical risks in awarding deals worth over £2 million in Wales alone as of early 2024, yet entrenched government ties—rooted in decades of IT outsourcing—have sustained contract awards. The scandal's exposure via the 2024 ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office amplified damage, eroding trust in Fujitsu's reliability for mission-critical systems, though quantifiable business losses remain tied more to precautionary funding than contract terminations.

Other Corporate and Ethical Issues

In March 2024, Fujitsu detected malware on its corporate computer systems, leading to unauthorized access and the exposure of sensitive personal information belonging to employees and customers. The incident involved hackers infecting internal networks, potentially extracting data such as names, addresses, and business-related details, though Fujitsu stated no evidence of ransomware deployment or financial loss from the breach. An investigation confirmed the malware allowed exfiltration of data, prompting Fujitsu to notify affected parties and enhance security measures, including network segmentation and monitoring upgrades. Earlier, in May 2021, Fujitsu's ProjectWEB platform—a tool for sharing —was exploited by hackers, resulting in breaches of multiple Japanese agencies' systems. The stemmed from inadequate protection of AWS access keys, client data, and passwords stored in the platform, exposing details and potentially enabling further intrusions into networks. This incident highlighted systemic risks in Fujitsu's handling of third-party data, contributing to broader concerns over the company's cybersecurity practices despite its role as a major IT provider to governments. On the labor front, a 2025 in accused Fujitsu Group of providing false explanations for an employee's unfair transfer and dismissal, alleging violations of internal policies and labor laws. The court dismissed the case, finding insufficient evidence of misconduct, but it underscored ongoing employee grievances regarding internal disciplinary processes and transparency in personnel decisions. Fujitsu maintains compliance programs, including whistleblower hotlines, to address such issues, though critics argue these measures have not fully mitigated perceptions of rigid in its Japanese operations.

Sustainability Claims and Scrutiny

Environmental Policies and Reported Initiatives

Fujitsu's , formulated to align with the FUJITSU Way principles, commits the group to leveraging ICT for , conducting environmentally conscious business activities, and minimizing impacts across product lifecycles from procurement to disposal through the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle). It also emphasizes compliance with regulations, minimization from chemicals and , information disclosure, and employee engagement in addressing and . The policy guides the Fujitsu Group Environmental Action Plan, with Stage XI spanning FY2023 to FY2025, targeting reductions in effects, promotion of resource circulation, and preservation. This plan supports the FUJITSU Climate and Energy Vision, structured around three pillars: achieving net-zero emissions in the , contributing to carbon-neutral societies via technology, and enhancing resilience to climate risks. Central to these efforts is a net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ambition, accelerated in August 2023 to zero CO₂ from own operations by FY2030 (from prior FY2050 timelines) and net-zero across the full by FY2040, with the latter validated under (SBTi) standards in June 2023. Reported GHG reduction targets and progress include:
Scope/ CategoryFY2023 Achievement (vs. FY2020 baseline)FY2025 Target (vs. FY2020)FY2030 TargetFY2040 Target
Scope 1 & 241.6% reduction (516 kt-CO₂)50% reduction100% reduction (net-zero own operations)-
Scope 328.1% reduction--90% reduction (net-zero )
Business sites58.4% reduction50% reduction--
Category 11 (use of sold products)34.2% reduction12.5% reduction--
initiatives target 50% usage by FY2025 and 100% by FY2030 under RE100, with FY2023 achievement at 42.7% facilitated by power purchase agreements at sites in and . decarbonization involves supplier engagement, where 54% of major suppliers had adopted SBTi-aligned targets by FY2023, alongside full completion of CO₂ and action calls and participation in the World Business Council for Sustainable Development's Partnership for Carbon Transparency. Additional initiatives encompass biodiversity impact mitigation (12.5% reduction target by FY2025 vs. FY2020 baseline, including site certifications and nature-monitoring projects), with a 94.1% reuse rate in FY2023, and withdrawal reductions of 59,000 m³ in FY2023. The group operates an ISO 14001-certified to oversee these activities globally.

Criticisms of Greenwashing and Empirical Outcomes

In 2017, Fujitsu General Limited, a of Fujitsu, was fined NZD 310,000 by 's Commerce Commission after pleading guilty to seven charges under the Fair Trading Act for making about the energy efficiency of its products. The company had advertised certain models as achieving up to 7.5 (COP) ratings—indicating high energy savings—but testing revealed actual performance as low as 3.5 COP under standard conditions, misleading consumers on environmental benefits and operational costs. This marked the first conviction under 's unsubstantiated representations provisions, highlighting risks in environmental marketing where claims lacked empirical backing from independent lab tests compliant with standards like AS/NZS 3823. Earlier, in 2009, Fujitsu faced accusations of greenwashing from over its Lifebook P series laptops marketed as "powered by wind" through the purchase of (RECs) to offset manufacturing and usage emissions. Critics argued this approach failed to address direct impacts, such as the laptops' production requiring rare earth metals with high extraction emissions and e-waste generation, while REC offsets often fund already-planned renewables without incremental reductions tied to specific products. Fujitsu defended the initiative as compliant with carbon neutrality standards, but the coverage underscored lifecycle analysis gaps, estimating that laptop manufacturing alone emits 200-300 kg CO₂ equivalent per unit, far outweighing offset claims without verified decarbonization. Empirical outcomes of Fujitsu's broader initiatives show mixed verification. The company reports Scope 1 and 2 reductions of 37% from FY2020 to FY2023, toward an 80% cut by 2030 and net zero by 2050, but these rely on self-audited data with limited third-party assurance beyond financial scopes. Independent assessments, such as those in IT sector analyses, indicate persistent challenges: Fujitsu's data centers and hardware operations contribute to the industry's ~2% of global use, with Scope 3 emissions (supply chain and product use) comprising over 90% of total impact yet under granular external scrutiny. Past unsubstantiated claims have eroded trust, prompting calls for standardized, verifiable metrics like for offsets, though no recent fines or major discrepancies have surfaced post-2017.
