Discover where a brand or product originates
Epson, a cornerstone of the global technology landscape, traces its origins to the 1940s in Japan. The brand is inextricably linked to the 'Seiko' legacy, as it was founded as Daiwa Kogyo, a company that manufactured watch parts for the Seiko brand. The company gained worldwide fame for creating the world's first electronic printer, the EP-101, which birthed the brand name 'Epson'—meaning 'Son of EP'.
Today, the brand is a global leader in inkjet printing, visual communications via high-end projectors, and precision robotics. Manufacturing is diversified across Southeast Asia to optimize supply chains, while high-end research and core component production remain centered in Japan. The company continues to operate as a core pillar of the Seiko Group, maintaining its reputation for Japanese engineering excellence and innovation in piezoelectric technology.
