Seiko Epson Corporation, listed in the United States under the symbol SEKEY, is a Japan-based technology company that develops and manufactures imaging, printing, visual communications and precision equipment. Its products include inkjet printers and multifunction devices for consumer, business and industrial applications, as well as commercial and industrial printing systems, scanners, and related supplies and services.
The company also produces projectors and other visual communications equipment, industrial robots and automation systems, wearable devices and watches, and electronic components such as sensing and microdisplay technologies.

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.
