Leveraging its efficient, compact, and precise innovation since 1942, global technology leader Epson marks 80 years since its establishment, and 40 years in the Southeast Asia region today as the company reflects on its successes over the past eight decades, and key milestones achieved together across four decades in Southeast Asia.
Vision Beyond
To commemorate the special occasion, Epson held its 40th Anniversary Seminar and Solution Tour that welcomed Epson Global President and CEO Yasunori Ogawa as the esteemed guest-of-honor. Titled ‘Vision Beyond’, it represents how Epson has paid homage to its long-standing heritage of excellence while demonstrating foresight into the future of the business inkjet, large format printing, and robotics industry.
Anchored as the regional Southeast Asia headquarters since 1982, Epson heralded the launch of its new regional headquarters office last year at Alexandra Technopark in Singapore, alongside two Solution Centers to display new corporate and industrial products to customers across the region.
With Southeast Asia poised to become the 4th largest market in the world by 20301, this presents significant market potential that the wider ecosystem can tap into for a myriad of business benefits. Similarly, Epson has expanded its presence across Southeast Asia over the last four decades with significant investment to the region, including office openings in Malaysia in 1991, Thailand and Philippines in 1998, Indonesia in 2000 and Vietnam in 2018. More recently, 2022 saw the launch of local Epson Solution Centers in Indonesia and Vietnam, and soon in the Philippines.
The progression of Epson’s regional footprint is made possible due to its track record within the industry—consistently retaining its number 1 market share in the SEA region for their Ink Tank Printers, Projectors, Dye Sublimation Textile Printers, SCARA Robots, Timing Devices, and many more.
Epson’s foray and commitment to B2B innovation is exemplified in its key product launch milestones across Southeast Asia, including introducing the World’s First Ink Tank Printer in 2010; and Epson Industrial Robot Series in 2012. More recently, Epson welcomed the launch of the World’s First 25,000 Lumens 3LCD Laser Projector in 2016; the Line Inkjet Business Printer in 2017; the Direct-to-Fabric Printer in 2019; and the 2021 launch of PaperLab – the World’s First in-office dry papermaking system.
This year, Epson SEA strengthens its EcoTank leadership position with the launch of monochrome EcoTank printers, M1170 and M2170. Powered by PrecisionCore Heat-Free Technology, these compact office EcoTank printers deliver fast print speeds and enhanced productivity.
In lieu of ever-evolving workplace norms, Epson’s business inkjet printer series are tailored to suit hybrid work environment. With solutions that enable printing on the go as well as cloud printing that ensures confidentiality and ease of print, Epson is able to meet the changing requirements of printing to go “Beyond Boundaries”. To further complement the hybrid work and learn environment, Epson has also launched CO-FH02, a versatile projector that can accompany an office worker from day to night. Available in the Philippines soon, this Full HD Smart projector has a lightweight and compact design, making it easy for the users to bring it to work and home.
