What Canon Singapore does

Canon Singapore Pte. Ltd. is the wholly-owned Singapore subsidiary of Canon Inc. (Japan) and serves as the regional headquarters for Canon operations across eight Asia-Pacific markets: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Founded in 1979 with 501-1,000 employees, the company operates from its headquarters at 1 Fusionopolis Place, Galaxis, Singapore, and runs a Canon Customer Care Centre in the same building plus an authorized printer service centre at CT Hub Kallang operated by Servlink.

The company is organized into four business segments. The Consumer segment sells EOS R mirrorless cameras, RF and EF lenses, MAXIFY MegaTank inkjet printers, imageCLASS laser printers, imageFORMULA document scanners, and SELPHY compact photo printers to individual consumers and home offices. The Pro Imaging segment supplies Cinema EOS cameras, professional L-series and cinema lenses, PTZ cameras, and camcorders to professional photographers, broadcasters, and cinematographers. The Business segment targets SMBs and enterprises with multifunction devices, large format printers, document management software, network visual solutions, and managed services including copier rental and on-site support. The Medical & Industrial segment distributes digital radiography systems (CXDI series), retinal cameras (CR-10), OCT imaging systems (Xephilio OCT-R1), and semiconductor manufacturing equipment including lithography, PVD, and atomic diffusion bonding systems.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales across all four segments, supplemented by consumables (ink bottles, toner, pigment ink) and professional services including on-site servicing at SGD 163.50 per unit, carry-in service, and corporate copier training. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer sales via the Canon eShop online storefront, a broad retail channel spanning Best Denki, Challenger, Harvey Norman, and Courts, an authorized dealer network, and direct enterprise sales for business and medical-industrial customers. Canon Professional Services (CPS) and Canon Imaging Academy provide ongoing community engagement with professional users.
