Epson has officially opened a significantly expanded regional office in Nairobi, marking one of the most notable technology investments in East Africa this year. The launch, held on 1st September 2026, grows Epson's Kenyan office footprint by 50 percent and cements Nairobi's place as a regional hub within Epson's wider Middle East, Turkey, Africa and Central and West Asia (META CWA) region.
The new facility, backed by an investment of KES 19,417,500 (approximately USD 150,000), includes a dedicated showroom and demonstration area where partners and customers can experience Epson's printing, projection and visual technologies for themselves. The office also adds fresh capacity for training and partner enablement, giving Epson's local team more room to support the growing demand for business printing and visual solutions across the region.
Speaking at the launch, Mukesh Bector, Epson's Regional Head for East and West Africa, described the new Nairobi office as a genuine reflection of the company's commitment to its customers. Gareth Jay, Regional Sales Director for Epson Africa, added that the expansion also supports Epson's sustainability goals, noting that lower energy use and efficient performance are values the company wants customers to feel directly through its products.
Red Dot Distribution at the Heart of the Celebration
As Epson's authorized distributor in the region, Red Dot Distribution played a central role in the celebrations surrounding the launch. Several senior leaders from Red Dot Distribution attended the event to congratulate the Epson team on the new facility and its impressive demonstration hub.
Among those present were Alfarid Abdul Hamid FCCA, Chief Finance Officer, Yogesh Yadav, Country Manager Kenya, and Imran Meghji, Head of Volume Africa, joined by other members of Red Dot Distribution's wider leadership team. Their attendance reflects the strength of the partnership between Epson and Red Dot Distribution, and the shared commitment both companies have toward serving businesses across Kenya and the wider East African market with genuine, well supported technology solutions.
Why This Matters for Businesses in Kenya
For businesses across banking, education, corporate offices and retail, this expansion signals more than a bigger building. It means faster access to Epson's latest printing, scanning and projection technology, more opportunities for hands on product training, and stronger local support when it matters most.
Epson has previously highlighted its cheque truncation and scanner solutions for the banking sector, along with its LCD projectors and smart boards for education, as key areas of local demand. With the new Nairobi hub offering greater demonstration and training capacity, businesses now have an even better opportunity to see these solutions in action before making a purchase decision.
Why You Should Partner With Red Dot Distribution for Epson Products and Services
Red Dot Distribution is Epson's trusted authorized distributor across the region, giving businesses a reliable route to genuine Epson products, backed by proper warranty support and expert guidance. Choosing to work with an authorized distributor rather than an unverified reseller protects your investment and ensures you receive the full value Epson intends for its customers.
There are several reasons businesses across Kenya and East Africa continue to choose Red Dot Distribution for their Epson needs. Working with Red Dot Distribution guarantees genuine Epson products, backed by full manufacturer warranty support, so customers never have to worry about counterfeit devices or unsupported purchases. The team also brings deep knowledge of Epson's printing, scanning and visual technology, allowing them to guide businesses toward the right solution for their specific needs rather than a generic recommendation.
