Epson Electronics Corporate Office

Epson can trace its roots back to a Japanese clockmaker, Hisao Yamazaki, when he began to make clock parts in 1942 for the company that would one day become Seiko.

Seiko Epson Corporation, known more commonly as Epson, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of computer parts, printers, and imagining-related equipment.

The company has a great number of subsidiaries around the world that manufacture printers, printer cartridges, and ink, scanners, computers, home theater equipment, robots, industrial automation, cash registers, and more.

Epson is one of three core companies of the Seiko Group, a name traditionally known for manufacturing timepieces since its founding.

Since 2016, Epson has been producing Smart Glasses, with the most popular model used in combination with drones.

The robotic market is in particularly high demand at this time and is expected to grow substantially within the next 5 years.

Smart Glasses are also expected to see substantial growth through 2025.

In November 2021, Epson signed with Gibson Engineering to be an official distributor of Epson Robots automation solutions.

Epson maintains a corporate office in North America in Los Alamitos, California.

Roku Corporate Office

Roku actually got its start from Netflix in late 2007. Netflix was about to release its own streaming service set-top box when the CEO wondered what would happen if Netflix released the box and other devices, such as DVD players or game systems, would not allow Netflix to run on their devices.

This became the idea that is now called Roku. Roku devices stream Netflix, as well as other channels and services directly to customer’s TV sets. The device has been through multiple changes, with each new update being called a “generation.” Currently, the latest model is the 7th generation, released in September 2018.

Roku is actively searching for more media companies to put their content on their platform, with a portion of the ad revenue benefiting Roku. The company already has a large number of providers that stream on Roku including Hulu, Amazon Video, PlayStation Vue, Redbox, YouTube, and Time Warner Cable.

In 2017, a Mexican court banned the sale of Roku products after Mexican TV station Televisa complained that the devices were easily hacked and allowed subscription channels to be illegally streamed. Roku made changes to their devices and the ban was lifted in late 2018.

Company headquarters are located in the same building as NetFlix, in Los Gatos, California.

Flashlights Unlimited Corporate Office

Flashlights Unlimited was founded in 2001 in Doraville, Georgia. The company is an online seller of flashlights and other lighting products.

The company is best known for its wide variety of flashlights, including police and first responders lights and tactical flashlights. In addition to flashlights, the company also sells light bulbs for pathway and outdoor lights, Himalayan salt lamp lights, and replacement bulbs for numerous brands of flashlights.

Flashlights Unlimited recently relocated from Doraville, Georgia, to more spacious headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. The company has a 5 star rating on Facebook.

Mouser Electronics Corporate Office

Mouser Electronics was founded in 1964 in El Cajon, California, by Jerry Mouser, a physics teacher who was frustrated that electrical components he needed were hard to find. Mouser moved the company to Mansfield, Texas, in 1983.

The company is an eCommerce and catalog distributor of electrical components. In January of 2000, the company became a subsidiary of TTI, Inc. Warren Buffet, owner of Berkshire Hathaway, purchased a majority portion of TTI in 2007. That same year, the company expanded both its warehouse and its office space by more than 231,000 square feet.

Mouser Electronics has an extensive website, including products from more than 5,000 manufacturers, along with access to approximately 5 million data sheets. The company has received numerous awards, including one in 2014 from connector manufacturer Harting, for New Customer Growth, as well as New Product Growth.

Loot Crate Corporate Office

Loot Crate was founded in 2012 by Chris Davis and Matthew Arevalo in Los Angeles, California. This pair of friends wanted to create a “comic-con” in a box. The company offers a subscription box service which offers electronics, comics, and other “geek” related items on a monthly basis.

By 2014, the company had more than 200,000 subscribers in 10 countries. Subscription themes change monthly and range from electronics, to “The Future”, to “Anti-Hero” related items and more. The company also operates other subscription services, such as Loot Anime, Loot Pet, and Loot Gaming.

Loot Crate officially sponsored Dungeons and Dragons in 2016, and is an official sponsor of eSports Team, Optic Gaming.

In August 2019, the company announced that it would be filing for bankruptcy protection.

The company owed more than US$30 million in debt and US$5.87 million in taxes, while its credit card processor has withheld payments to the company. While under Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it plans to continue to fulfill orders but seeks potential buyers.

In October 2019, Loot Crate announced that it had been acquired by Money Chest, LLC. Money Chest has rebranded Loot Crate as the Loot Company.

The Loot Company maintains a corporate office in Los Angeles, California.
