Nazdar acquires Fujifilm ink business

Nazdar has acquired Fujifilm’s US, Canada and Latin America screen and flexographic ink business through a sale and licensing arrangement. Transition activities began on June 24, with completion targeted for  July 13. This investment strengthens Nazdar’s long‑standing commitment to the screen and flexographic/narrow web markets and expands the company’s capabilities across product performance, regulatory support and technical services. 

Screen and narrow web have been core parts of Nazdar’s business for decades. As the company continues to invest in its manufacturing capabilities, this acquisition reflects a deliberate expansion and opportunity for long‑term growth. This deep expertise will support Fujifilm’s customers with high‑quality, future‑ready products.  

Tommy Katagiri, division president, Fujifilm North America, business innovation division, said: 'Nazdar has been a valued, longtime partner of the 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 confirms that all core product attributes will remain consistent following the acquisition. Product formulations, specifications and manufacturing locations will not change, and current SDS/TDS documentation will continue to be fully supported. This ensures a smooth transition with no disruption to product performance, supply or quality.

'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.'

In addition, customers will gain the benefits of Nazdar’s expanded resources, including dedicated screen and narrow web technical support, focused R&D and regulatory expertise, and long‑term investment in innovation and market leadership.
