About PFU

For more than 50 years, the PFU group of companies (PFU) has been developing technologies to accelerate digital transformation for organizations around the world—including our state-of-the-art fi Series and ScanSnap document scanners.

Our History

PFU Limited was founded in 1960, and our joint-venture roots weave back to 1973 when we joined PANAFACOM, a consortium of companies including Fujitsu and Panasonic that developed the first minicomputers.

Years later, in 1987, USAC Denshi and PANAFACOM merged to establish PFU Limited. PFU Limited launched its first document scanner in 1983.

PFU has been committed to manufacturing and supporting digital-transformation-focused products for customers and partners for decades. From introducing the first flatbed scanner to building the best-selling fi-7160, our innovative spirit and solution-forward technologies have helped us achieve and maintain our position as a leader in document scanners.

A Member of the Ricoh Group

In 2022, we joined the Ricoh Group of companies and changed our name from Fujitsu Document Scanners to Ricoh Document Scanners.

Besides the change in branding, our customers and partners can expect the same level of excellence, quality, and reliability. The research and development, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and services that our customers and partners know and trust remain the same.

Our Commitment

We are dedicated to bringing best-in-class consumer and enterprise document scanners, printers, projectors, portable monitors, keyboards, software, and related services to organizations everywhere—helping them move forward in a more connected and sustainable world.
