(75%) and Xerox (25%) to develop, produce and sell products and services in the Asia-Pacific region, has announced a reorganization. The company has realigned and consolidated its development and manufacturing functions to form two new companies:

* Fuji Xerox Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. will take on development functions.
* Fuji Xerox Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will manage manufacturing functions.

The companies will start operations on April 1. Fuji Xerox is aiming for sustainable growth with the restructuring, which enables it to weather the aggravated conditions of today’s business environment, and also offer better cost competitiveness. At the same time it aims to accelerate growth in new business areas, such as services and solutions.

With the establishment of this new company, the development organization that will stay within Fuji Xerox will focus on development of products, platform/marking technologies, and new technologies. Fuji Xerox Advanced Technology will undertake module development — image capture, paper feed, fax functions and finishing devices — as well as custom development to swiftly meet customer needs. This realignment will be accompanied by an addition of development human resources in the growth/focus areas, such as production products development and custom development, thereby enhancing technological and development capabilities and enabling a faster response to market trends.

Fuji Xerox Manufacturing will consolidate Fuji Xerox Takematsu Center, which manufactures ground toner and photoreceptors. It will also merge with Fuji Xerox Imaging Materials Co., Ltd., which manufactures Emulsion Aggregation (EA) toner, and consolidate the production functions of Suzuka Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd., manufacturing key components such as electronic parts and optical apparatus, as well as Niigata Fuji Xerox Manufacturing Co., Ltd., manufacturing printers.

In addition, Fuji Xerox will concentrate the production of ground toner and photoreceptors currently conducted at several sites both in Japan and overseas, at Fuji Xerox Manufacturing Takematsu Center. It will also shift all of the office printer production to China, to enhance cost competitiveness through optimized operational capacity and mass production. Other manufacturing requiring higher skills including production printers will be conducted at Fuji Xerox Manufacturing Niigata Center in order to enhance technological capabilities.Manufacturing-related back-office functions of the various companies will be gathered at Fuji Xerox Manufacturing to streamline business processes.

An oversupply of printer hardware, ink cartridges, and media occurred in late 2008 and early 2009, and dealers responded by drastically cutting inventory levels. This has caused a disproportionately large decline in product shipments to the channel versus unit sales to end users, resulting in the first-ever decline in consumables revenue. Revenue declined by 2 percent from 2008 (see figure). (Note: It is important to clarify that Lyra’s Hard Copy Supplies Advisory Service forecast measures customer demand, which is most similar to channel sell-through metrics.)

According to Andrew Lippman, Lyra senior analyst, there is some encouraging news on the horizon. “Print volumes for desktop ink jet printers are expected to begin growing rapidly in 2012 as the technology enters more and more small office environments,” says Lippman. This will result in a corresponding increase in consumables for ink jet printers.

Cortney Kasuba, Lyra senior analyst, says, “All of the toner subsegments of the color MFP market are forecast to grow through 2013, with the largest revenue increase coming from the color workgroup MFP [A4-size color laser/LED MFPs] segment.”
