Fujikrism

Work creatively! Work challengingly! And never give up! That's Fujikrai-ism.

Ten years have passed since the joint research started in 1975. It was essentially a completely competitive field. This research came to an end with Fujikura winning the competition. The desire to "beat our rivals" was perfectly realized by sticking to the original intention. Moreover, it was also proof of the process of creating the "Fujikura-style de facto standard" that is not only comparable to domestic rivals, but also to global competitors. The reason for Fujikura's victory was...Work creatively! Work challengingly! And never give up! This was the result of thoroughly adhering to this Fujikuraism and pursuing it with unshakable determination.

Solid Photonic Band Fiber

Fujikura's success is not limited to Optical Fiber and Fiber Optic Cable. For example, we currently hold the world's top market share in Fusion Splicer, optical transmission components, optical transmission equipment, and optical measuring instruments, and we also play a pioneering role in building total optical communications systems. In cutting-edge technological fields, too, Fujikura continues to lead the world with technological achievements that further expand the possibilities of "light," such as the practical application of "zero moisture" fiber and the development of "dispersion management fiber," "panda fiber and other functional fibers," and "photonic bandgap fiber."
