Nazdar, a manufacturer and distributor of screen printing, wide format digital & flexographic inks, announced that the company has acquired FUJIFILM’s U.S., Canada, and Latin America screen and flexographic ink business — through a sale and licensing arrangement. Transition activities began on June 24, with transition targeted for completion by July 13.

“Nazdar has been a valued, longtime partner of the Business Innovation Division,” said Tommy Katagiri, division president, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division. “Its acquisition of this ink business is a natural next step for both organizations to meet our mutual business goals. It allows Nazdar to continue to advance its ink business and supports Fujifilm’s focus on other priorities under the business innovation/printing umbrella.”

Nazdar confirms that all core product attributes will remain consistent following the acquisition. Product formulations, specifications, and manufacturing locations will not change, and current SDS/TDS documentation will continue to be fully supported. This ensures a seamless transition with no disruption to product performance, supply, or quality.

“Bringing these FUJIFILM product lines into Nazdar represents a strategic investment in the markets and customers that matter most to our future,” said Richard Bowles, CEO at Nazdar. “We’re expanding our capabilities, deepening our expertise, and positioning ourselves to deliver industry‑leading solutions for many years to come.”

According to Nazdar, screen and narrow web have been core parts of its business for decades. As the company continues to invest in its manufacturing capabilities, this acquisition is said to reflect a deliberate expansion and opportunity for long‑term growth. The company stated that this expertise will support FUJIFILM’s customers with high‑quality, future‑ready products.

In addition, Nazdar stated that customers will gain the benefits of its expanded resources, including dedicated screen and narrow web technical support, focused R&D and regulatory expertise, and long‑term investment in innovation and market leadership.
