Dongguan Office

The Dongguan office was established in 2008. Mainly, it has been responsible for providing after-sales support for FUJI’s SMT-related equipment in the South China region. Particularly, in the newly established showroom, a state-of-the-art production floor automation system using the latest model “NXTR*” is on display. Also, it is ready for demonstration. Additionally, equipment has been introduced to automate the board assembly process for hand-inserted parts. Particularly, demand for this process is increasing year by year due to labor shortages and rising labor costs.

As part of the company’s sales strategy, it has been expanding its showrooms where customers can experience the company’s cutting-edge automation systems. According to FUJI, “The opening of the new showroom is part of our efforts to strengthen our ability to propose automated systems in China. Particularly, the China market is expected to expand in response to rising labor costs, a shortage of human resources, and growing calls for improvements in production efficiency and quality through automation.” This is in response to the increasing demand for automation.

Going forward, FUJI will continue to expand the number of showrooms globally where customers can experience the latest automation systems.
