    EPSON CELEBRATES 25 YEARS IN NEW ZEALAND

    Company takes major chunks of projector, multifunction inkjet markets
    Epson is celebrating its 25th year doing business in New Zealand, touting major shares of specific markets in the country."In the technology business a year can mark the whole life cycle of a product, so 25 years for Epson NZ is quite an achievement," says GM Greg Skinner, in a statement.Skinner, citing private analyst and government sources, says the company achieved more than 25 percent share of the New Zealand market for multifunction inkjet printers in July. Epson also has more than 40 percent of New Zealand projector sales.

    "The business has certainly gone from strength to strength over the years and continues to grow and perform strongly in the current challenging economic times, much like our ultimate parent company," says Skinner in the statement."We are especially proud of the fact that we’ve delivered the market-leading products that helped our resellers grow their businesses over this period. My thanks go to our resellers for their dedication and support."

    Epson NZ started in 1986, based in Penrose Auckland, primarily selling computer and dot matrix printers. The company in 1991 had withdrawn from the computer market and focused on selling printers."From a watch making business that started in the 1890s, Seiko Epson Corporation was formed in 1985 and there have been substantial changes in Epson technology since the launch of the first Epson inkjet printer in October 1984," Skinner says.Epson today makes and sells industrial robots; LCD screens for mobile phones, digital cameras, GPS systems, and other products.
