A Detailed Look At A Printer Company Who Started Making Fitness Wearables

Since its existence, Epson has always been a company known for its printing and image-related products. Led by the Japan-based Seiko Epson Corporation, the Epson Group comprises more than 70,000 employees in 94 companies around the world. Chances are, many offices and businesses use Epson’s inkjet laser printers, scanners, automation equipment, or other forms of electronics.

After nearly two decades of selling printers and image-related equipment however, Epson America recently announced the creation of Epson Active, a line of fitness sports and health wearables that empower and inspire consumers through technology.

“We started developing GPS chips in 1995 when satellites were declassified”, remarked Randy Bergstedt, the Group Product Manger for Epson Active.
