The new leasing model enables increased access to Epson technology while Epson retains end-of-lease ownership, supporting refurbishment, reuse, and recycling initiatives
Epson today announced a new strategic business model designed to make its technology more accessible for large corporate and public sector organisations, while advancing its sustainability commitments.
In partnership with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, a European leader in equipment financing, Epson will introduce a comprehensive leasing programme covering its entire product portfolio.
“This is a significant strategic milestone for Epson and will help us better support large scale customer requirements through a more competitive proposition,” says Rob Clark, COO, Epson Europe. “The solution means our customers can access the latest Epson technology without the burden of up-front investment.”
The leasing programme spans Epson’s full range of solutions – from business printing and scanning to projection, retail technologies, industrial print and robotics, including its latest collaborative robots. Customers will also benefit from 360° support delivered through Epson’s partners providing fleet management, maintenance and servicing solutions, enhanced by Epson’s open API to enable integration with partners’ management platforms.
A unique feature of the model is Epson’s retention of product ownership at the end-of-lease, ensuring all equipment is returned for refurbishment, reuse or recycling. This closed-loop approach is central to Epson’s corporate vision and helps prevent products from entering secondary “grey” markets or being disposed of inappropriately.
“We already manage our own innovation and manufacturing facilities,” explained Richard Wells, Head of Market Development, Epson Europe. “Retaining control of products at the end of their life means we can extend resource use, reduce waste, and further minimise environmental impact.”
From a financing perspective, leasing offers customers predictable costs, improved cash flow, and greater flexibility.
Pascale Favre, MD of the Technology and Lifecycle Solutions business line at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, added: “We’re delighted to partner with Epson on this innovative programme. Leasing not only makes Epson’s cutting-edge technology more accessible, it also helps organisations manage risk and align with more sustainable business practices. Together, we’re enabling smarter, more responsible financing models for the future.”
