Fuji Oil Group Global Innovation Center
Fuji Europe Africa B.V. (www.fujioileurope.com) is part of Fuji Oil Group, founded in Osaka in 1950.

One of the Fuji Oil Group’s core values is “challenge and innovation” and therefore the new and growing innovation team in the Netherlands is being set up close to the heart of the innovation in Food Valley Wageningen.
