More than half a century has passed since Fujimi introduced its first man-made lapping abrasives to Japanese industry. Since then, the name Fujimi has become synonymous with premium quality lapping and polishing products. We have taken micro–particle production to the nanometer level, making it a key technology in a wide range of industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, optics, and metal finishing. In the area of silicon wafer lapping powders used for IC and VLSI substrates, Fujimi has earned approximately 80% of the global market. We are committed to advancing fine particle technology to benefit industry worldwide. It is our goal to create ever finer particle materials, both as refinements in current applications and for applications only imagined.Fujimi products first reached the North American market in 1976. A U. S. sales company, Fujimi Corporation, was established in Chicago in 1984 to better market our products to American customers. Growing demands from the American semiconductor industry led to the creation of Fujimi America Inc in 1988. PWA lapping powders are still being produced at our 32,000 square foot facility in Wilsonville , Oregon . It has been continually upgraded, and is now the Fujimi PWA production center for the world. Its products are the standard of the industry, and are primarily marketed to the semiconductor manufacturing, glass processing and metal finishing industries.Our manufacturing complex in Tualatin has been built in phases, beginning in 1993 with a facility for the production of Disklite polishing slurries. A 45,000 square feet building devoted to the production of FO lapping powders was completed in 1996. It is the most advanced facility of its type in the industry. This plant is highly automated and fitted with state-of-the-art environmental controls. Our Technical Center , dedicated to testing of Fujimi products, was constructed at the same time. It was the beginning of the research and development of advanced finishing processes in the U.S. A production facility for CMP products was begun in 1998, and is continually being expanded and upgraded to meet the demands of a growing market. Currently four CMP products are being made on a 24/7 schedule. In July of 2003, Fujimi Corporation was merged with Fujimi America , maintaining the name Fujimi Corporation as the U.S. company, located in Tualatin , Oregon . A building containing administrative offices, expansion space for CMP production, an ultra clean automated CMP process facility, and several state-of-the-art laboratories for R&D was completed on the Tualatin site just before the merger. Further expansion in Tualatin is being planned, as well as upgrades to the PWA plant in Wilsonville.
