Electronics giant Fujitsu is looking to expand computer hardware sales in the mainland and Hong Kong up to US$500 million by 2008 as its marketing moves beyond Japanese multinationals and into Chinese enterprises.
'Without succeeding in China, we cannot achieve our global business goals,' said Masayuki Tomimuro, Fujitsu executive vice-president and general manager of the group's China holdings company in Beijing.
Mr Tomimuro said Fujitsu was 'ramping up marketing efforts' for its high-performance enterprise servers, storage systems and personal computers to Chinese companies, government agencies and other multinational businesses.
That strategy includes the establishment of so-called platform solutions centres for customers to test systems in Shanghai last April, Hong Kong this week and in Beijing in March next year.
Mr Tomimuro said Fujitsu expected sales of its personal computers to hit US$200 million and its servers and storage systems to reach US$300 million by 2008 due to steadily growing technology investments by businesses.
Sales of the group's computer hardware products - including PrimePower Unix servers, PrimeQuest Intel-based servers, Eternus storage systems and Fujitsu notebook and desktop personal computers - reached US$200 million last year in the mainland and Hong Kong.
