Fujita Corporation has continually expanded its role in
construction and in urban redevelopment since the Fujita brothers
started their engineering-works construction contract business
in Hiroshima in 1910.
Although the city of Hiroshima was devastated by the detonation
of the first atomic bomb during World War II, the Fujita Corporation
continued to grow, both in scale and reputation. The rebuilding
of Japan following World War II led to the modernization of
the construction industry generally and to the introduction
of long-range management planning. As a consequence of Fujita's
expansion over this period, parts of the businesss were listed
on the Tokyo and Osaka securities exchange in 1963.
In 1959-60 we founded the Fujita Technical Institute - an
in-house R&D center designed to bring innovative new technologies
to the construction industry - such as fully automated construction,
new computing techniques and environmental technologies.
Whilst we are engaged in construction of many high-profile
projects in Japan (such as the Shinkansen and the Tokyo Olympic
Games institution) we have also undertaken major projects
in Europe, Central America, the Middle East, Cina and Southeast
Asia.
Since the 1960s, we have been heavily involved in construction
management and, since 1990, we have been increasingly aware
of the environmental responsibilities of construction companies.
Our major aims are best summarized by our new slogan "Fujita
- Creating Superior Environments ".
