Fujifilm to Launch a New Plant for Advanced Semiconductor Materials (including Color Filters) to Boost Customer-Support and Shorten Supply Chain

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) has announced that its semiconductor business subsidiary, FUJIFILM Electronic Materials Co., Ltd. (President: Keiji Mihayashi; hereinafter “FFEM”), will launch the operation of its third plant in Taiwan (Tainan Plant) in late November. The company built the plant in the City of Tainan for advanced semiconductor materials, to expand its production in Taiwan. The Tainan Plant starts with the production of developing solutions, and will gradually expand its range of production items.

FFEM established FUJIFILM Electronic Materials Taiwan Co., Ltd. in Taiwan’s Hsinchu County in 1996 to start local production of developing solutions and it has expanded its production items to include photoresists*, CMP slurries** and image sensor materials***. In 2014, the second plant (Hsinchu), producing cutting-edge NTI*4 developers, went operational in a bid to address the ever-expanding demand for advanced semiconductor materials in Taiwan, which has achieved rapid growth as one of Asia’s semiconductor production centers.

French Presidential Candidate Stops Interview and Asks “Is This the Fujifilm X-T2?”…. and He Ends Up Photographing the Journalist!

A little Sunday curiosity.

The story is about an interview with Presidential Candidate and former French Prime Minister François Fillon. Just an ordinary interview, like hundreds of others…. until the moment, where the politician, who happens to be also a photo enthusiast, sees the camera of the Photographer, interrupts the interview and asks: “Is this the Fujifilm X-T2“. The Journalist gives him his X-T2 and, with his smartphone, takes some snapshots of F. Fillon handling Fujifilm’s flagship.

Will we have a new X-shooter very soon? Did you like the X-T2, Mr. Fillon? Well, then good luck, because the X-T2 is almost impossible to find in stock :P

Thanks to the FR-reader, who spotted the story at the French Journal du Dimanche (google translated)
