Fujitsu Ltd. is "very actively" looking for acquisitions to spur global growth, the company's president said.

"Targets will be companies that have technologies that Fujitsu doesn't have or that have customers that Fujitsu has never been able to reach so far," Masami Yamamoto said in an interview in New York through an interpreter. "We would like to get engaged very actively in M&A activities."

Yamamoto, who took over as president in April, said Japan's the nation's biggest computer-services provider is looking at companies in the cloud-computing and middleware markets, and is also seeking alliances. He declined to identify potential acquisition targets or partners.
