후지필름과 와코와의 관계를 확인중입니다.
우리가 흔히 알고있던 후지필름은 카메라 필름이 가장 친근하게 기억하는 것이지만,
와코는 케미칼 회사로 알려져 있습니다.
즉 후지필름과 와코는 모회사 자회사 관계입니다.

FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals U.S.A. Corporation
Wako Chemicals USA Inc. started operations in the United States in 1981, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Japan. After Wako's worldwide operations were purchased by FUJIFILM, the business model was updated as synergies developed.
FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals continues to manufacture and sell a variety of specialty and laboratory chemicals in association with FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemicals LTD of Japan, and in late-2020 FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals expanded its offerings of automated laboratory solutions with the integration of FUJIFILM Wako Automation Corporation.

Our History
-
1981- 1989
Wako established a wholly owned subsidiary, Wako Chemicals GmbH, in Germany in 1974. Wako founded the second overseas subsidiary, Wako Chemicals USA, Inc., in 1981. Wako's three lines of products imported from Japan were marketed in North and South America through Wako Chemicals USA.
As the demand for one of our specialty chemicals, the V-50 polymerization initiator, increased, Wako decided to build a manufacturing plant in the USA in order to strategically supply the V-50 initiator to our customers internationally. Wako selected Richmond, Virginia, as the site for the first US production plant. Wako Chemicals USA closed the Dallas office and relocated to Richmond in 1989.
