Economy Minister comments on Fujitsu restructuring.

Economy Minister Simon Hamilton MLA has commented on the restructuring of  the Fujitsu business throughout Europe including its operations in Belfast and Londonderry.



He said:  “This is a worrying time for staff at Fujitsu in Belfast and Londonderry. 


I have spoken to Fujitsu management today and intend to engage with senior decision makers in Japan in the days and weeks ahead to emphasise to them the highly skilled workforce that exists in Northern Ireland as well as the competitive costs and strong Government support that makes our region a good place for their company to continue to invest in."
