Sydney, 1st October 2014 – Fujitsu announces it has moved to new Oceania headquarters in the Macquarie Park technology hub, in northern Sydney at 118 Talavera Road.
The new purpose-built offices were officially opened today by Hon Dominic Perrottet MP, NSW Minister for Finance and Services, in the presence of Mr Masami Fujita, Head of Global Corporate of Fujitsu Limited, and Mr Masato Takaoka, Consul General of Japan, Sydney. The event included a traditional Japanese Kagami-biraki sake ceremony, representing harmony and good fortune.
Since opening its doors in Australia in the early 1970s, Fujitsu has continued to expand its Trans-Tasman presence. It has now outfitted 9,400 square metres, over 5 floors, in the prestigious, 5-star rated Green Star building to house its 850 Sydney-based staff. The move consolidates its operations from three separate locations to a single, efficient site.
Mike Foster, CEO and Executive Director of Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand, said: “This move will benefit our people, customers and the business. The single site will vastly improve collaboration between our teams, resulting in staff who are better equipped to provide service excellence. And, as a technology company, I believe it is very important for Fujitsu to lead the way in the application of technology. By incorporating the latest tools and ideas in our own workplace, we are also able to showcase our commitment to sustainability; a key value of our organisation.”
The bespoke, energy efficient design of Fujitsu’s new offices also leverages wireless and collaboration technologies; advanced ‘Follow Me’ printing capability that allows staff to print to any printer in the building; and ‘soft phone’ technology that eliminates the need for separate telephones on desks. Macquarie Park is also very well serviced by public transport which will help reinforce Fujitsu’s green credentials. These, and other initiatives, will see a significant reduction in the company’s waste output and energy consumption.
