New partnership assists Epson lease expansion in Europe and supports procurement processes, and key benefits include:
- Improved support for large corporate companies and the public sector
- Expanded financing options for new markets such as Finland and Ireland
- Greater access to end-of-lease products for reuse, refurbishment, and recycling
Epson and DLL
Epson has expanded its leasing programme through a partnership with DLL. DLL is a global asset finance company for equipment and technology. This collaboration will see Epson technology become increasingly accessible to businesses by removing the need for upfront investment.
Rob Clark, Chief Operating Officer, Epson Europe BV, comments:
“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. 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.”
Offering a comprehensive leasing solution across its portfolio – from printers to robotics – will allow Epson to better address large corporate and public sector tenders which 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.
Rob van den Heuvel, General Manager, DLL Europe, shares why Epson Europe’s financing capabilities are key to a competitive edge. He stated:
“Right now, there are two key realities: innovation is outpacing budgets, and customers expect circular practices. Leasing and financing are practical ways to offer customers scalability without draining cashflow and circularity that’s built right into payment models. We’re proud to support Epson Europe in their endeavors and look forward to what’s ahead for our partnership.”
Sustainability Benefits
Circularity remains a key pillar in Epson’s corporate vision and the ability to control ‘end of life’ product, either by enabling ‘second’ or ‘third’ lives through reuse or refurbishment, or through recycling schemes, ensures materials and resources are maximised. The collaboration with DLL 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.
Richard Wells, Head of Market Development, at Epson Europ BV, points to the wins for the environment, stating:
“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.”
