Strategic cooperation between FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH and Stepan GmbH

Electronics systems supplier expands product portfolio in Austrian and neighbouring markets with highly flexible FUJI placement solutions

Kelsterbach, July 4th, 2022 – FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH (www.fuji-euro.de) and Stepan GmbH will cooperate in the future. The focus of this strategic partnership is, among other things, to strengthen the market presence of FUJI and its SMT placement solutions – especially in Austria and its neighbouring countries. This will result from the sales support provided by the Austrian electronics system supplier Stepan. FUJI users and interested parties are thus offered the best possible support, short response times and very high consulting quality.

FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH is a specialist for highly flexible placement systems in the high-mix/low-volume up to complete placement lines in the high-volume market. Stepan GmbH specializes in highly flexible solutions for the electronics industry. The electronics system supplier for SMT and THT production offers, among other things, high-tech machines and materials for the entire field of the electronics industry.

“We are represented by subsidiaries and sales partners in numerous countries around the world. We have been directly active in Austria for several years. Through the cooperation with Stepan GmbH, we will further increase our market coverage, especially in Austria and its neighbouring Eastern European countries. Our new partner has been active in the business of printed circuit boards, coilware and electronics production for more than 30 years and will give us access to the Austrian market, to companies from sectors such as automotive, industrial, EMS and mobile devices. I The existing market presence of Stepan GmbH, also in the neighbouring countries, creates synergy effects and thus a high market potential”, says Stefan Janssen, Managing Director of FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH.

In the course of the partnership, Stepan GmbH benefits from FUJI’s wide product portfolio and its increasing focus on Industry 4.0 and automation. Stefan Kessler, Managing Director of Stepan GmbH, says: “Electronics production is increasingly characterized by a variable combination of high placement performance and a versatile product mix with small batch sizes. Short changeover times and flexibility as well as more and more automated processes are essential requirements. FUJI’s placement solutions are designed to meet these requirements and increasingly focus on automation, thus fulfilling the demands of modern industry. They therefore fit ideally into our range of services.”
