World-class supply and support infrastructure
Advanced plate production
Guaranteeing consistent high quality
plates and uninterrupted supply
requires long-term investment in
sophisticated manufacturing techniques
and efficient logistics. Fujifilm has
invested continuously in its plate supply
infrastructure over many years so that
printers can benefit from consistent high
quality plates, day-in, day-out.

Fujifilm has four global production
centres (The Netherlands, USA, China
and Japan) all dedicated to delivering
world-class printing plates. Advanced
automation and state-of-the-art quality
control at each facility results in the
highest standards of production.

World-class logistics
The logistics infrastructure in Fujifilm’s
European manufacturing factility in The
Netherlands is immense, as the facility
also manages the distribution of colour
paper for the consumer imaging market.

This centralised distribution centre is
supplemented by logistics facilities and
plate stocks in local countries, with the
entire infrastructure focussed on meeting
the day-to-day requirements of printers
across Europe, Africa and the
Middle East.

Unbeatable support
In addition to building a supply
network that’s second to none, Fujifilm
also prides itself on the quality of its
technical support. Fujifilm has built up a
comprehensive network of highly skilled
plate technicians, many of which are
ex-printers, and software applications
engineers. This means that not only
do they understand all aspects of
plate production, they also understand
software and print applications and the
demands of modern-day presses giving
them the ability to deal with any issue
that may arise.

NEWSPAPER SOLUTIONS
Sustainable manufacturing
Fujifilm prides itself on its investment
in sustainability, and the Tilburg
manufacturing site is a prime
example. The site itself achieved ISO
14001 certification in 1997, and has
been implementing sustainability
improvements every year. The ultimate

improvements every year. The ultimate
aim of the site is to be 100% CO
2
neutral in everything it does. Recent
investments include the installation
of five wind turbines, which are set to
supply approximately 20% of the total
energy used by the 63 hectare site,
and a co-generative thermal oxidiser
