Fujitsu celebrates 50 years in Australia

Fujitsu General Australia is celebrating 50 years of operations in Australia, having launched in the region in 1974.

The company was originally founded in Kawasaki, Japan, in 1936. The company has a strong focus on research, innovation, and developing products that improve people’s lives; and produces air conditioning solutions for homes and businesses worldwide.

Managing director at Fujitsu General Australia, Phillip Perham, says Fujitsu has grown from strength to strength since entering the Australian market 50 years ago.

Fujitsu General is actively pursuing environmental protection activities aimed at conserving energy and natural resources, along with working on decarbonisation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help achieve the Fujitsu General Limited (FGL) goal of carbon neutral.

The company has also expanded its R32 product offering, which is now available for most Fujitsu air conditioners under 16kW.

“Fujitsu General Australia has shifted to using 100 per cent renewable energy and zero-emission products at all locations, and is in the process of switching its company fleet vehicles to hybrids where feasible,” says Perham. “All initiatives are reviewed regularly and evaluated on their ongoing performance.

“As an organisation, Fujitsu General Australia is committed to innovation and remaining agile. Energy efficiency, cost effectiveness, automation, and smart climate control are at the top of the agenda as the company continues to look to the future and the next 50 years.”
