Epson Australia has announced its 40th anniversary of operations in Australia, with the company set to use its 40th year to introduce new products in large format printing, projectors, office and industrial printing.
Epson Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Seiko Epson Corporation, started in November of 1983, with a small team of 20 people in the suburb of Frenchs Forest on the northern beaches of Sydney.
Today, the company’s product portfolio consists of home and office printers, scanners, thermal receipt printers, projectors, large format printers, industrial print solutions and a wide range of software tools that enhance the productivity and usability of its products and provide more value to customers.
The company has also expanded its team to more than 150 people across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Auckland with offices and showrooms in each location.
The company’s recent environmental initiatives include partnering with Earth Hour, sponsoring the Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney and transitioning to 100 per cent renewable energy across its entire operation in Australia and New Zealand.
Epson Australia MD Craig Heckenberg said the local team was thrilled to commemorate this significant milestone in our company’s history.
“We are very proud of our achievements and success over the last 40 years. As such, I must thank all Epson staff both past and present, our channel partners and customers for contributing to this success. We now focus on the next 40 years and on creating continued growth through providing innovative products and services that make a positive impact to the lives of our customers, their businesses, and their communities,” said Heckenberg.
“Looking ahead, we have a lot more to accomplish and we pledge to continue to play our part to protect the environment by working with our customers and industry to help solve societal issues, strive for sustainability and improve quality of life.”
Seiko Epson global president, Yasunori Ogawa, congratulated Epson Australia for its 40th anniversary and thanked employees, partners and customers.
“Epson is committed to achieving sustainability and supporting the community and no group company embodies this commitment more than Epson Australia. I look forward to working with everyone to achieve even greater success both for Epson Australia and the wider community.”
