Adrian Priera, president of Fujitsu Espana SA, has confirmed that the company is considering manufacturing a new line of telecommunications products at Malaga. According to Cinco Dias, Fujitsu’s majority shareholding in ICL has prompted the company to look at ways of co-ordinating the UK activities with the rest of its European subsidiaries. Fears that Fujitsu would concentrate on the UK and consequently neglect the Spanish market seem to have been laid to rest with the announcement that a $10.4m investment will go ahead as planned, and Priera hopes that ICL and Fujitsu Espana can share technology and distribution channels. However, despite the possibility of collaborating on developing communications systems at Malaga, Priera emphasises that the various country operations will operate autonomously, reporting only to Tokyo.
