Epson celebrates success in an island in Cebu

We were once again privileged to be invited by Epson Philippines Corporation (EPC) to an annual event for its media partners — the Epson Fusion. Now on its 5th year, we were flown to Cebu to be part of the company’s celebration. They also let us experience canyoning and swimming with the gorgeous whale sharks.

Sumilon Island, Cebu — the island where Epson celebrated its achievement and introduced new lineup of products.

EPC is celebrating success since they have achieved the position of being the number 1 brand in three different categories (projectors, inkjet printers, and dot matrix printers). During the three-day event, they also launched a slew of new products from 4 different categories including:

On top of these new products, EPC also announced the latest results that showed the company’s achievement of number 1 market share in the projector category in the Philippines. They attained 31.84% market share for the 1st quarter of 2014. Globally, Epson is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its 3LCD projector technology – a celebration made more special with its unmatched achievement of 13 consecutive years as the world’s number 1 projector brand.

Epson Philippines has also retained the number 1 Value Share Leadership in the inkjet printer category with a Value Share of 35.50%.

“Every year, we are inspired to plan Fusion activities that promote friendship and exciting challenges. With the help and support of our partners in business and the media, Epson continues to enjoy the overwhelming support of Filipino customers, making many of our champion products the “People’s Choice” in their respective categories,” concludes EPC President/Country Manager Toshimitsu Tanaka.
