Company Overview

Fujitsu is a Tokyo-listed technology group whose customers are mostly large organizations in Japan, plus enterprise and public-sector clients in Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. It no longer makes phones or chips at scale; its business is building, modernizing and operating IT systems, supported by server, network and supercomputer engineering. Japan accounts for the large majority of its profit. The company is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

Fujitsu is a B2B technology company with three reported segments. Service Solutions (about two-thirds of revenue) covers systems integration, consulting, modernization of legacy mainframe and on-premise systems, cloud and managed services, and the Fujitsu Uvance cross-industry portfolio; it earned ~$15.7 billion (JPY 2,346.9 billion) of revenue in FY2025 at a 15.4% adjusted operating margin. Hardware Solutions sells servers, storage, mainframes and network equipment such as 5G and optical transmission products, mostly to Japanese enterprise, telecom and public-sector customers. Ubiquitous Solutions, the smallest segment, covers PCs and other client devices sold through its stake in Fujitsu Client Computing. Much of the revenue is recurring, coming from multi-year outsourcing, maintenance and operations contracts.
