Engineered Printing Solutions (EPS), a Xaar company, will open a new office in California next month (September). The move comes as the company aims to enhance its ability to meet the needs of its many existing and potential customers on the West Coast.
According to EPS, the new office will deliver quicker response times and lower costs for support calls for customers and will include a demo suite for a number of the company’s products, including: pad printers; inkjet flatbed and rotary bottle printers; and also, stock consumables such as inks, pads and printing plates.

“We are delighted to make this announcement since it enables us not only to get much closer to our customers on the West Coast, but also to offer new benefits such as quicker delivery on consumables and short response times to customer calls,” says Julian Joffe, president of EPS. “It is our intent to continue manufacturing in Vermont ‒ we are expanding to this office to meet the growing needs of our customers on the West Coast.
“In addition, we will be able to demonstrate industrial inkjet and pad printing solutions right there in our showroom.”
Located in the Clipper Court Commerce Center at 46728 Fremont Boulevard, Fremont, California, EPS’s new 2,000 sq/ft office will act as the base for local technical and sales teams.
Founded in 1985, EPS specialises in direct-to-substrate industrial inkjet printing for a wide range of sectors including promotional, medical, automotive, textiles, packaging and sports equipment.
EPS was purchased by Xaar plc in 2016, the same year in which the print head specialist made inroads into the world of digital textile printing with the official launch of the Xaar 5601 family of high-resolution print heads.
The OEM has since launched a second print head, the 1201, and earlier this year the company was in China looking to benefit from the country’s expanding digital printing industry. Xaar chose to exhibit at the Shanghai Ad and Sign Show where it partnered with Guangzhou HaoCheng.
