Fujifilm Names Todd Croker President of FUJIFILM Manufacturing U.S.A., Inc.

FUJIFILM Manufacturing U.S.A., Inc., announces two major organizational changes, effective March 1, 2015: Tomoyoshi “John” Ueno was named Chairman; and Todd Croker was promoted to President, succeeding Mr. Ueno in this position. This change represents a transition in the company president’s role from a Japanese President to its first American President.

“This is an exciting time for FUJIFILM Manufacturing,” said Mr. Ueno. “Appointing an American president represents a strong vote of confidence in both the company and its leadership team from the Board of Directors. It will be a pleasure to watch FUJIFILM Manufacturing grow with this transition.”

“I am looking forward to the opportunities this transition presents for both FUJIFILM Manufacturing and me,” said Mr. Croker. “I am eager to see Fujifilm’s Greenwood manufacturing site grow and become more prosperous. We have the best employees, and with their help, we will remain a leading manufacturer.”

Croker has a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech and worked for Procter & Gamble for five years before coming to Fujifilm. He began his career with Fujifilm in Greenwood, South Carolina, more than twenty years ago as a member of the factory leadership team for the FUJIFILM QuickSnap™, one-time-use camera factory. Since then, he has held leadership roles in most of the factories on the Greenwood campus, and currently serves as the leader for Fujifilm’s North American Manufacturing Council.

With over twenty-five years of experience in production and operations management, he possesses technical expertise, product knowledge and managerial experience that will be beneficial to the continued successful operations of Fujifilm’s manufacturing complex in Greenwood.
