Fujitsu laptops are made in Japan for premium models and in China and Taiwan for volume global models, all under Fujitsu Client Computing Limited, the joint venture created in 2018 where Lenovo owns 51% and Fujitsu owns 44%. The flagship ultra-lightweight LIFEBOOK models that are sold primarily in Japan, such as the LIFEBOOK UH, U9311, and FMV series, are manufactured at Fujitsu's Izumo factory in Shimane Prefecture, Japan. This plant is known for its high-precision assembly, strict quality control, and ability to produce magnesium alloy chassis that weigh under 900 grams and are built to order with custom configurations. These Made in Japan units are considered the highest quality in the lineup and are popular with business users who prioritize portability and durability. For international markets including Europe and North America, most LIFEBOOK E5, A5, and standard business models are manufactured in China through Lenovo's extensive manufacturing network in Shenzhen and Hefei, and through ODM partners in Taiwan. The design, engineering, and quality standards are still controlled from Kawasaki, Japan, ensuring that even overseas-built models follow Fujitsu's engineering specifications, but the final assembly location depends on the model's price point and target market.
