25.07.2006

Epson Philippines Corp. president Hideto Nakamura makes a speech during his introductory briefing with the local IT press.

Hideto Nakamura, Epson Philippines' new president who assumed position at the start of the company's fiscal year last April, said that

Epson will focus more on the corporate segment of the local market. Nakamura said the company will focus more on the corporate market in its current fiscal year.

Aside from dot-matrix and the inkjet printers, which account for the bulk of the Japanese company's revenues in the Philippines, Epson is also looking to generate more revenues from products geared towards business users, such as LCD projectors and wide-format printers, and those that cater to niche markets such as point-of-sale (POS) printers for retail users and passbook printers for banks.
