Epson Atmix Corporation will invest approximately 4 billion yen to construct a new amorphous alloy powder production facility at Kita-Inter Plant No. 2 in Japan. The facility will increase production capacity from about 6,000 to about 8,000 tonnes per year by fiscal 2028.

Seiko Epson launched a robotics manufacturing line at its Toyoshina Plant in Azumino, Nagano in September 2018, mainly producing autonomous two-arm robots. The company plans to increase industrial robot production capacity by 3.5 times by fiscal 2025.

Seiko Epson completed construction of a new factory (Building 9) at its Hirooka site in Shiojiri, Nagano, Japan, for producing PrecisionCore print chips. The facility, with an investment of about ¥25.5 billion, is expected to start operations within fiscal 2018 and will triple production capacity.
