ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Xerox is reportedly in talks with Japanese camera company Fujifilm to strike a deal that could rejuvenate the document technology company.
A deal could result in a “change of control” at the Norwalk, Conn.-based company, though a full takeover of Xerox Corp. (XRX) is not on the table, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
Fujifilm and Xerox embarked on a joint venture in the 1960s, called Fuji Xerox Co., a consolidated subsidiary of parent company Fujifilm Holdings Corp. Fuji Xerox spread to multiple countries in the Asia-Pacific area, developing office and printing equipment.
Carl Langsenkamp, a Xerox spokesman in Rochester, N.Y., said he was not willing to comment on the Wall Street Journal story at this time.
