No, Fujitsu is not a US company. Fujitsu is a Japanese company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It was established in 1935 in Kawasaki, Japan, and remains one of Japan's most important technology companies, similar to how IBM is viewed in the United States. However, Fujitsu has had a very large and long-standing presence in the United States for over 50 years, which causes confusion. Fujitsu America, Inc. is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, and Fujitsu operates major data centers, R&D labs, and service operations across the US. Its HVAC subsidiary, Fujitsu General America, sells ductless mini-split systems widely in the US market. Fujitsu also has historically manufactured and sold supercomputers, servers, scanners, and enterprise software to US government and Fortune 500 clients. In the early 2000s, Fujitsu was even one of the top PC sellers in the US through retail partnerships. The company is incorporated as Fujitsu Limited in Japan, with its American operations being subsidiaries. So while you will encounter Fujitsu products and employees throughout the US, the ownership, ultimate headquarters, and corporate identity are Japanese, not American, and it is not listed as a US corporation.
