Leading with innovation, guided by purpose
We’re known for our printers and projectors, but there’s so much more to Epson’s story. From our beginnings as a Japanese watchmaker over 80 years ago, we’ve pioneered industry firsts—from the first quartz watch to the first mini printer, and we’ve led in robotics for over 40 years. We created the first ink tank printer and introduced the world’s first in-office paper recycler.
Behind every visible innovation lies our guiding principle, sho sho sei, which drives us to ensure that our impact on the planet is as positive as our products are innovative. Every day, we invest 1.3 million euros into R&D, constantly exploring sustainable innovations that make a positive impact on people’s lives and the planet.
