FujiFilm to set up manufacturing facility & R&D in India

Hyderabad, Mar 22 (UNI) FujiFilm India, a wholly owned subsidiary of FujiFilm Holdings Corporation, Tokyo, will set up its manufacturing facility in India, likely in the next 2–3 years.
Present in three business segments: healthcare, materials, and imaging, the company would also set up its research and development centre along with the facilities in the country. FujiFilm India Senior Vice President and Healthcare Business HOD, Mr. Chander Shekhar Sibal, told reporters at the sidelines of the installation of its groundbreaking open MRI machine, “APERTO Lucent,” at Vijaya Diagnostic Centre, India’s largest integrated B2C diagnostic chain, here on Friday.
In response to a question, he said the company has not decided where to set up the facility.
With a vast portfolio of technologically advanced products, the company is involved in the business of healthcare, Endoscopy Systems, Photo Imaging Solutions, Digital Still Camera, Instant Photo Systems (Instax), Optical Devices, Graphic Communication Solutions, Multifunction Printers, Recording Media & Industrial Product, he said.
He said, “FujiFilm India has been at the forefront of MRI technology with consistent development, where we always aim to find the next breakthrough in the form of higher resolution and crystalline imaging, aiding in more accurate diagnoses.
At the same time, we’re also focused on patient-centric designs as we build comfortable MRI machines, reducing claustrophobia and anxiety during scans. Therefore, APERTO Lucent elevates industry benchmarks by combining both aspects, redefining the sophisticated MRI field. Its installation will broaden our technological footprint in the country, offering a streamlined, patient-centric, and economical solution for our partners like Vijaya Diagnostic Centre.”
APERTO Lucent’s single-pillar MRI structure provides a panoramic open view, significantly reducing patient anxiety. It also features a wide, lateral table with a soft sound to create a comfortable examination environment. Moreover, the True OPEN Bore design of the system reduces the risk of claustrophobia while accommodating patients of diverse body types, he added.
The Rs 6 crore-worth India’s first MRI machine, “APERTO Lucent," was installed at Vijaya Diagnostic Centre in Hyderabad, Telangana, he added.
