Nazdar has acquired Fujifilm’s US, Canada, and Latin America screen and flexo ink business through a sale and licensing arrangement. Transition activities began on June 24, with completion targeted for July 13.
The acquisition adds Fujifilm’s screen and flexo ink product lines to Nazdar’s portfolio and expands the company’s presence in the screen and narrow web printing markets. According to Nazdar, the move is intended to strengthen its manufacturing, technical service and regulatory support capabilities while continuing to serve customers across the region.
Nazdar said screen printing and narrow web applications have been longstanding parts of its business and that the acquisition supports its long-term growth plans. The company also said it will continue supporting customers using the acquired product lines.
“Nazdar has been a valued, longtime partner of the Business Innovation Division,” said Tommy Katagiri, division president, Fujifilm North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division. “Its acquisition of this ink business is a natural next step for both organizations to meet our mutual business goals. It allows Nazdar to continue to advance its ink business and supports Fujifilm’s focus on other priorities under the business innovation/printing umbrella.”
Nazdar said product formulations, specifications and manufacturing locations will remain unchanged following the acquisition. The company added that existing Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Technical Data Sheets (TDS) will continue to be supported, with no anticipated disruption to product performance, supply or quality during the transition.
“Bringing these Fujifilm product lines into Nazdar represents a strategic investment in the markets and customers that matter most to our future.” said Richard Bowles, CEO at Nazdar. “We’re expanding our capabilities, deepening our expertise, and positioning ourselves to deliver industry-leading solutions for many years to come.”
