Epson Philippines celebrated 25 years in the country with a launch event “Unlock the Future” at its new office in Pasig City. The event marked two significant achievements: the opening of its Philippine headquarters with solution centers and the launch of a new series of heat-free business inkjet printers aimed at boosting Epson’s growth in the B2B market.
Enabling growth and development in the Philippine market
Epson has a significant presence in the Philippines, being a vital region and a growing market for the company over the past 20 years of operation. The new headquarters for Epson Philippines signifies its dedication to supporting the growth of the Philippine market and improving Filipino lives through innovative, compact, and accurate technology. To better serve its customers, Epson has transformed its new location into Solution Centers to provide a comprehensive experience.
“With the move to our new office, we have consolidated our resourcing in one place. We have housed everything under one roof so that our customers and our partners can access all our products right here at our new Solution Center,” said Masako Kusama, Epson Philippines Corporation President. “Moreover, it is from our new headquarters that we will aggressively put into action Epson’s commitment to a more sustainable future as we continue to create breakthroughs that will change the way our customers conduct business.”
Keeping sustainability at the forefront of innovation
Sustainability is a crucial element of Epson’s business model and culture. The company believes that collaboration with like-minded communities and organizations can lead to greater progress in sustainability efforts.
One of Epson’s long-term partnerships is with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), where both organizations have developed projects focused on marine conservation, climate change education, and sustainable production systems for low-income communities.
Epson is committed to sustainable operations, demonstrated by transitioning its Philippine plant to 100% renewable energy. In light of resource depletion and global warming, Epson is taking measures to create more efficient products and services, such as reducing product size, using recycled materials, and increasing the service life of their printing solutions.
“Epson’s heat-free technology is our response to urgent environmental issues as we contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions,” said Koichi Kubota, Director of Seiko Epson Corporation. “Reducing heat in the printing process of our Epson inkjet printers delivers unparalleled benefits not just to our customers but also to the environment.”
Ushering in the new era of printing in the B2B space
The climate crisis remains front of mind for many young working adults. Sustainable solutions within the workplace is a much needed first step towards addressing this concern. As much as a paperless future is becoming common, the demand for paper will still exist. It is important for Epson to align its products with sustainable initiatives to reduce environmental impact.
Epson also unveiled the Workforce Enterprise AM Series, the technology leader’s new range of heat-free business inkjet printers in the mid-speed range. This completes the lineup of Epson’s offering to help businesses of every size realize an environmentally conscious office. Powered by Heat-Free technology, the new series marries innovation and sustainability—offering more productive ink usage, reducing overall cost, and offering a smaller footprint that comes with enabled solutions, thus setting the standard for more sustainable printing solutions.
The Workforce Enterprise AM Series of Linehead Inkjet printers are set be available in the Philippine market this Q1 2023 with a three-product lineup: AM-C4000, C5000 and C6000.
To continue its promise to customers for even more productive, efficient, and sustainable printing solutions, Epson will end the sale and distribution of laser printer hardware in its lineup by end of 2023 in the Southeast Asia region.
“A new era of printing has indeed arrived, and we are proud to finally have come to this moment and become the leader of sustainable printing solutions in the market,” concluded Epson Southeast Asia Regional Managing Director Siew Jin Kiat, who led the ceremonial unlocking of the Philippine headquarters. “With the launch of our new Philippine headquarters and the launch of our latest line of enterprise inkjet printers, we sincerely look forward to unlocking the future.”
