EPSON Precision (Philippines) Inc. (EPPI), a premier manufacturing subsidiary of Seiko Epson Corporation, proudly marked its 30th anniversary with a grand celebration that honored its legacy of innovation, resilience, and commitment to excellence.
EPPI began its operations in Cabuyao, Laguna in 1995, and subsequently established an additional facility at the LIMA Estate in 1998 to support its business expansion. Since then, the company has significantly expanded its footprint, transforming the Batangas site into Seiko Epson’s largest precision manufacturing facility in Asia. Today, the 33-hectare complex houses three major factory buildings and employs over 20,000 workers—making it one of the region’s largest employers. From this strategic location, EPPI manufactures a wide range of products, including printers, and projectors, for global export.
The 30th anniversary celebration was a meaningful tribute to EPPI’s enduring journey and values. The event featured inspiring stories from employees, messages of appreciation, and a reflective look at the company’s rich legacy—reaffirming the core values that define EPPI’s culture: innovation, trust, and integrity.
Heartfelt tributes were extended to employees and stakeholders in recognition of their invaluable contributions to the company’s long-standing success. Their collective efforts have helped establish EPPI as a trusted name in precision manufacturing.
