Epson expands leasing programme

Epson has expanded its leasing programme through a partnership with DLL, a financial solutions partner. This collaboration will see Epson technology become increasingly accessible to businesses by removing the need for upfront investment. It also means Epson will have increased access to end of lease-term product, allowing it to process it through its reuse, refurbish and recycle programme, further supporting product circularity. Offering a comprehensive leasing solution across its portfolio – from printers to robotics – will allow Epson to better address large corporate and public sector tenders that it has previously been unable to support. Customers will benefit from support programmes run by existing Epson partners proving fleet management and maintenance. Working with DLL will support additional finance options for potential customers in harder-to-reach European markets such as Finland and Ireland. “Our leasing initiative marks an

important step in Epson’s strategy, strengthening our ability to meet large, complex customer needs with a more attractive and flexible offering,” said Rob Clark, COO, Epson Europe. “It gives organisations a way to benefit from the latest Epson technology without heavy up-front capital investment, making it easier to modernise and adopt more sustainable solutions sooner. By working with DLL, we’re also able to combine our expertise and sustainably focused products with the growing availability of Green Finance for Epson customers.” Richard Wells, head of market development, Epson Europe, added: “At the same time, we’re not handing over responsibility at the end of a product’s life. Because we manage our own innovation and manufacturing, retaining control of products when they’re returned make sense, we can keep valuable materials in use for longer, cut waste and further reduce the overall environmental footprint of our technology.” n
