Epson targets N592m from Nigeria, opens office

Account manager for South Africa at Epson Corporation, Mr. Shaun Robinson, has said that his firm’s target this financial year is $4 million, about N592m from the Nigerian market.

This is coming as plans is up for Epson to open a country office.

Responding to questions at the ‘Exceed Your Vision’ seminar in Lagos, organized in collaboration with its main distributor in the country, Technology Distribution (TD) West Africa Limited, Mr. Robinson declared “our target for this year in Nigeria is $4 million.”

Equally responding, the General Manager, Marketing at TD, Mrs. Chioma Chimere assured that given the avalanche of her company’s outlet through the dealers and resellers in the West African region, they would be equal to the task.

She also solicited the support of all dealers and resellers to put in their best so as to surpass the target of Epson team in Nigeria.

She stressed that they have well trained technical staff to back up the Epson series of printers that would soon flood the nation’s market.

Earlier while introducing Epson to participants, the Business Development Manager, Epson Sub-Saharan Africa, Mr. Sylvain Volly, asserted, “TD is our main distributor in Nigeria.”

The resurfacing of Epson in Nigeria through the TD partnership is to reclaim rightful place in the ever growing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) market in West Africa.

In the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), he said, Epson is consolidating its position with engagement of over 2,400 employees.

“We’re leaders in personal inkjet office products,” he asserted.

Epson, which is a part of Seiko Epson Corporation, a conglomerate worth over $1.3 trillion in revenue with over 90,000 employee globally, even as it is made up of 109 group of companies covering sales.

With specialty in printers, Mr. Volly noted that Epson has over 8,155 patents worldwide as at last year.

He listed the company’s range of products to include video projectors, large format printers, Dot matrix printers and laser printers.
