In terms of product category, the company revealed that inkjet printers and scanners were the highest contributors at 70 percent, sitting just behind is its point of sale (POS) and dot matrix printers at 14 percent, followed by visual instruments at 11 percent, while the commercial and industrial products shared 5 percent.

“To add to our exceptional performance for inkjet printers and scanners, the FY18 performance for POS and dot matrix printers, visual instruments and commercial & industrial products tells us that this is the perfect opportunity to build the new foundation for Epson here in the Philippines,” Bonoan added.
Hence, as it kicked off a new fiscal year, Epson Philippines aimed to penetrate small but specific markets to meet the demands of the B2B segment.
