Epson, META-CWA, President Neil Colquhoun says the region holds great promise, inspired by the immense growth within META-CWA in recent years. With more than a decade’s experience within the company, Epson, META-CWA, President Neil will be leading diverse personnel of over 320 individuals.

“At Epson, we take pride in what we design, manufacture, and deliver. This expansion into the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, and Central & West Asia represents more than just business growth — it’s about connecting with the heart of local needs and delivering technology that empowers people and businesses, all while caring for the planet and building a more sustainable future,” said Colquhoun.

“Moreover, this structure will give our talented on-ground teams even greater opportunity to support the continued business growth with local partners.”

Epson intends to leverage its vast in-market network to bring to market high-quality technology solutions in various categories- visual display, printing, scanning, lifestyle and manufacturing. This will involve making provisions for tailor-made solutions for an increasing customer base in different sectors such as healthcare, financial services, education, hospitality, construction, entertainment, retail and tourism.
