Epson traces its origins to Daiwa Kogyo, established in Nagano Prefecture in 1942, and later became associated with Suwa Seikosha. The company introduced the EP-101 digital printer in 1968; the Epson brand name, derived from “Son of EP,” was adopted in 1975. Seiko Epson is headquartered in Suwa, Nagano, and operates as a separate company from Seiko Group Corporation, although both businesses share historical roots.
