Epson South Africa’s expansion to two sites in Gauteng, one exclusively for its large format printer (LFP) segment, has been driven by increased growth since 2018, future development plans and its intention to offer an improved experience for its partners and clients.
Epson has relocated its offices to the new Monte Circle office park in Fourways and opened a LFP showroom in Sandton to accommodate its increased growth.
‘We’ve been on a strong growth curve since 2018 and we’re excited about the potential that 2021 and beyond hold for us, despite the challenges of 2020,’ said Timothy Thomas, national sales manager at Epson South Africa. ‘South Africa remains a country with endless opportunities and Epson plans to be a part of the economy’s growth in the coming years, particularly in printing and projection displays.’
Outside of catering for this growth, Epson will provide a state-of-the-art Epson Experience Centre at its new offices, open to its partners to help drive product and technology awareness and demonstrations. The company says its new location will incorporate real-life product placements and introduce new product demonstration facilities to highlight product uses.
‘We will continue to cover all areas of our business units, which include business and consumer printing, scanning, projection, POS and labelling, as well as our large format (commercial) printing products. Each product segment will showcase current and new products, with a particular focus on highlighting some of the exciting technologies available to our customers,’ added Thomas.
Epson’s LFP printing segment has grown its market share by over 6% year-on-year. The company said it expects this growth to continue into the coming year, driven by its current product range as well as planned developments in new areas of its commercial printing. The new demo and training facility will feature all the current and upcoming Epson commercial solutions.
‘We still expect 2021 to be a challenging year as the country manages the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated economic challenges. Despite this, we remain committed to supporting our business partners who have helped grow Epson into the brand it is today. We have more exciting news that will follow in the coming months that will further demonstrate Epson’s long-term investment strategy for Southern Africa,’ concluded Thomas.
Epson’s new office is located at Block D, Monte Circle, 178 Montecasino Boulevard, Magaliesig. The LFP showroom is at PartServe, Linbro Business Park, 16 Milkyway Avenue, Frankenwald, Sandton.
