The new Epson warehouse facility, located at Ashworth Logistics Park in Longlake, will reduce costs for distributors, who can now have products delivered straight to their warehouses. The warehouse currently houses 80% of Epson’s product range, but the team aims to have it fully stocked with a complete selection of products by early 2022.
Its first-ever local warehouse facility in Linbro Park is set to cut delivery times to distributors from more than a month to a week.
‘This is a milestone achievement for Epson and a huge leap forward in improving our logistics infrastructure. We were previously only able to deliver stock in six to seven weeks, but now we can do so in just six to seven days,’ said Timothy Thomas, national sales manager at Epson South Africa.
Epson has further enhanced its customer service offering by opening a dedicated large format printer (LFP) showroom in Linbro Park that showcases existing and upcoming commercial LFP ranges, including photo, signage, technical design, textile, sublimation, and direct-to-garment printers.
With LFP being a highly technical and specialist industry, the new showroom emulates industrial environments, allowing channel partners and customers to experience Epson’s products first-hand. The showroom can also be used for active demonstrations and to host training sessions for end-users, dealers, and distributors.
‘We envision our new warehouse and LFP showroom to be welcoming environments where customers and distributors can interact with our products, and our partners can optimise their and our growth stories,’ added Thomas.
