Epson Fusion 16
Masako Kusama, President and Director of Epson Philippines Corporation, opened the event by highlighting the theme of EcoSynergy. “EcoSynergy reflects the idea that real progress happens when innovation moves in step with shared purpose,” she said. “It’s how Epson brings people, technology, and sustainability together.”
Noelle Gonzalez, Marketing Division Head, shared how Epson has maintained market leadership across eight key product lines while achieving consistent double-digit growth. She highlighted the company’s effort to fight counterfeit inks and the rollout of new value-added services for improved customer experiences.
Russer Cabrera, Senior Manager for Product Marketing, detailed updates that help businesses work smarter and more sustainably. Among these include regional holograms to combat counterfeit inks, expanded warranty through the CoverPlus program, and enhanced solutions for education and self-ordering systems. Moreover, large-format printing solutions for textiles and signage were also featured.
The event also introduced Julia Avila, OIC for Product Marketing, and Ash Elshawbaki, Senior Manager for Corporate & Government and Channel Sales Departments.
Advancing the Sustainability Roadmap
Sustainability was the main focus at Fusion 16. EJ Sulit, Epson’s Sustainability Champion, shared its environmental roadmap. This includes focusing on the goal of achieving carbon-negative operations by 2050 and using 100% renewable energy across all global sites, including the company’s largest manufacturing facility in the world in Batangas, Philippines.
Sulit also spotlighted the company’s community-driven initiatives like the ICLEAN Project in partnership with WWF-Philippines in Monreal Ticao Island. It conducted waste management and sponsored a new plastic shredder that helped increase the production of eco-bricks made of collected plastics.
“These eco-bricks each contain about 500 grams of plastic that might otherwise pollute marine environments,” Sulit explained. “The municipality now produces over 300 bricks monthly, showing how localized innovation can drive real change.”
Ed Bonoan, Sales Division Head, expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the media for the support over the years. “We’re grateful for your continued partnership in sharing our stories,” he said.
The event was filled with team challenges that tested communication and creativity. Fusion 16 was a true celebration of partnership and community.
