Ink manufacturer and distributor Nazdar has acquired FUJIFILM’s screen and flexographic ink business across the US, Canada, and Latin America through a sale and licensing arrangement. Integration activities officially commenced on 24 June, with the full transition targeted for completion by 13 July.
The transaction expands Nazdar’s capabilities across product performance, regulatory support, and technical services while strengthening its long-standing presence in the screen, flexographic, and narrow web markets.
The investment leverages Nazdar’s decades of core expertise in screen and narrow web technologies to drive long-term growth and ensure product continuity for existing FUJIFILM customers.
Toyoyuki Katagiri, Division President of FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division, says, “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 organisations 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.
“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 seamless 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,” says Nazdar President and CEO Richard Bowles. “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.”
