Epson electronics and printers

Epson, a globally recognized leader in imaging and innovation, originated in Japan. The brand is a core part of the Seiko Group, tracing its roots back to the 1940s when Daiwa Kogyo Ltd. was established, which later merged to form Suwa Seikosha Co., Ltd. The Epson brand name was officially launched in 1975, derived from the phrase 'Son of Electronic Printer' (EP-101), marking its evolution into the digital printing market.

Today, Epson is owned by the Seiko Epson Corporation, which remains headquartered in Suwa, Nagano, Japan. As a major multinational, the company operates a diverse manufacturing network to meet global demand. While high-precision components and advanced research are centered in Japan, the company maintains large-scale manufacturing facilities in countries including China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. This global supply chain allows Epson to produce a wide range of products from inkjet printers and 3LCD projectors to industrial robots and microelectronic components.
