After supplying K-Sun with label printers on an OEM basis for two decades, Epson believes that acquiring its partner will enable it to better serve industrial customers with the ever expanding line of Epson label printing solutions – from the desktop to the industrial press. According to Junichi Watanabe, director, and chief operating officer of Epson’s Visual Products Operations Division: “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.”
“K-Sun has enjoyed a strategic partnership with Epson since 1994. Now as a member of Epson’s prestigious group of companies, we are very excited for our future and the new products and supplies that we can offer our customers and the expanded opportunities for our employees,” Michael Kasun, founder and president of K-Sun, said.
Specializing in industrial and safety marking/ identification, pipe marking, and wire/ cable labeling, K-Sun will begin with selling the Epson-branded lineup of LabelWorks label printers for industrial applications in North America this 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,” Christopher Sanchez, Epson Philippines head of sales division, said.
