Strategic acquisition strengthens Nazdar’s position in the screen and narrow web printing markets while ensuring continuity for Fujifilm customers.
Nazdar has completed the acquisition of Fujifilm’s screen and flexographic ink business across the United States, Canada, and Latin America under a sale and licensing agreement. The transition process commenced on June 24 and is scheduled to be finalized by July 13.
The acquisition represents a key step in Nazdar’s long-term growth strategy, reinforcing its commitment to the screen printing and narrow web flexographic sectors. By adding Fujifilm’s ink portfolio to its offerings, the company aims to strengthen its product capabilities while expanding its technical support, regulatory expertise, and customer service.
Screen printing and narrow web solutions have been central to Nazdar’s business for many years. The company said the acquisition complements its continued investments in manufacturing, innovation, and market expansion, further enhancing its ability to serve customers with high-performance printing solutions.
Tommy Katagiri, Division President of Fujifilm North America’s Business Innovation Division, described the agreement as a logical next step in the companies’ long-standing partnership.
“Nazdar has been a valued, longtime partner of the Business Innovation Division. This acquisition is a natural next step that supports our mutual business goals. It enables Nazdar to further strengthen its ink business while allowing Fujifilm to focus on other priorities within the business innovation and printing portfolio,” Katagiri said.
Nazdar stated that customers will experience a seamless transition, with no changes to existing product formulations, specifications, manufacturing locations, or overall product quality. The company also confirmed that all current Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Technical Data Sheets (TDS) will remain fully supported, ensuring uninterrupted supply and consistent product performance.
Richard Bowles, CEO of Nazdar, highlighted the strategic value of integrating Fujifilm’s ink portfolio into the company’s operations.
“Bringing these Fujifilm product lines into Nazdar represents a strategic investment in the markets and customers that matter most to our future. We are expanding our capabilities, deepening our expertise, and strengthening our ability to deliver industry-leading ink solutions for years to come,” Bowles said.
As part of the acquisition, customers will also gain access to Nazdar’s expanded technical support network, dedicated research and development resources, enhanced regulatory expertise, and continued investment in innovation across the screen and narrow web printing industries.
