Inkjet printers and virtual reality glasses are just part of the numerous technology offerings promoted by Epson at a start of year event to celebrate its Asian Cup sponsorship.
Epson is coming off the top of a stellar share price rise that has seen the value of the company soar since a reorganisation two years ago saw it exit the optical eyewear business. In the interim its stock market value has increased exponentially.
According to Bruno Turcato, managing director Epson Australia, the company now is poised to expand into new areas well beyond its traditional roles of printers and projectors. In addition to launching its revolutionary Precision Core inkjet technology and engineering it across all its printers, Epson is advancing into futuristic products such as Moverio smart glasses that allow wearers to traverse virtual reality in combination with real world image capture.
At yesterday’s event held at the HQ of the Asian Cup in Walsh Bay Sydney, Turcato spoke of the breadth of the company’s product range, including its development of robots, a giant step from its origins. in addition, Craig Heckenberg, GM sales & marketing. spoke on the relative advantages of the Epson range of inkjet printers when compared to laser printers. He is confident the market will adopt the simpler and cheaper technology in the near future.
As a principal sponsor of the Asian Cup, Epson can seemingly do no wrong, when it comes to picking winners … well, finalists at least.
