Epson Precision Philippines Inc. (EPPI) is marking 30 years of operations at Lima Estate in Batangas, celebrating steady growth that shows the country’s role in high-value manufacturing.
Since opening in 1997, EPPI has become Epson’s largest precision plant in Asia. The 33-hectare facility includes three factory buildings and employs more than 20,000 people. From its site in Lima Estate, EPPI assembles printers, scanners, and projectors, which are exported to Japan and Southeast Asia.
“EPPI’s continued operation in the Philippines is a measure of confidence in our economy and our people, as well as our ability to make your investments grow,” said Philippine Economic Zone Authority Director General Tereso Panga. “EPPI has injected ₱18.8 billion in investment and continues to innovate and develop cutting-edge products that we now see dominating global markets.”
Lima Estate, developed and operated by Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates, spans 1,000 hectares. It is a PEZA-registered area that supports 185 companies and around 75,000 workers. The estate is also the first and largest in the country to receive a 5-Star Berde-District certification from the Philippine Green Building Council.
“Epson Precision Philippines Inc. (EPPI) is proud to be part of the Philippine industrial landscape, and we remain committed to cultivating Philippine development through employment, environmental protection, and quality engagement,” said Yushie Irie, president of EPPI.
As Epson grows its presence in the region, it plays a role in increasing exports and providing jobs. Aboitiz InfraCapital said it will continue working with Peza to support companies like Epson in growing responsibly and creating long-term value for communities.
