With the recent acquisition of K-Sun Corporation-a supplier of award-winning portable and desktop electronic label printers-Seiko Epson Corporation hopes to expand its presence in the industrial labelling market.
The acquisition of K-Sun amounts to more than three decades of experience in the industrial identifications solution which in prospective will give Epson a broader access to labeling customers and influencers.
Junichi Watanabe, director, and chief operating officer of Epson’s Visual Products Operations Division, commented, “We are delighted to take our partnership with K-Sun to the next stage. The acquisition will not only give us access to K-Sun’s expertise in industrial label printing, but will help boost the Epson brand and increase exposure of Epson’s label printers in this important strategic market.” At the moment, K-Sun prints everything from cable labels to electrical tags to safety labels which vastly expands Epson’s catalog of products.
K-Sun, which specializes in industrial and safety marking/identification, pipe marking, and wire/cable labeling will begin with selling the innovative Epson-branded lineup of LabelWorks label printers for industrial applications in North America from January 2015, while Epson America will continue its focus on promoting LabelWorks label printers to the consumer and office markets. Expansion of the product line offerings will follow.
“Epson’s inroads into the label printing segment show our commitment in enhancing our value proposition to our customers. Through this acquisition, we strengthen our goal of providing high precision, world-class products to Filipinos to help them grow the return of their investments,” enthused Christopher Sanchez, Epson Philippines head of Sales Division.
