GREENWOOD, S.C. - Fuji Photo Film Inc. plans a
$100 million expansion of its production here, company officials
said Friday.
The expansion - which will begin immediately and be complete by
2005 - will add production of printing plates for the graphic arts
industry, but will not add new jobs.
"We're very pleased to see one of our leading corporate citizens
continue to bring new products and new expansions to our state,"
Gov. Mark Sanford said.
About 1,600 employees work at Fuji's Greenwood complex, which has
eight manufacturing plants, the Greenwood Research Laboratories and
the largest Fujifilm distribution center in the world. Fuji first
came to the state in 1988.
The company also announced a $500,000 donation to help study and
preserve the Saluda-Reedy River Watershed and Lake
Greenwood.
