Corporate Brand Story

The greatest asset of a company, a country, or the Earth itself, is the imagination of its people. By thinking creatively and collaborating with each other, people can improve the way communities live and work together.

From the very beginning, Ricoh has been energized by this belief in the power of creative ideas. The company's founder, Kiyoshi Ichimura, nurtured a unique pool of thinkers, motivated by professional pride, who refused to be limited by tradition. They envisioned a world where better communication supports greater creativity.

Ricoh made this vision a reality by combining technology, engineering, and high-quality manufacturing. Its printers, copiers and fax machines spearheaded the era of office automation and revolutionized business operations.

Today, Ricoh is a truly global company. It fosters genuine partnerships with its customers through exceptional standards of service. With Ricoh's innovation in technology and services, it enables our customers to be freed by streamline processes and take a step towards knowledge creation. This also yields tangible benefits for their own customers.

Ricoh is always thinking ahead. It is providing solutions to meet the needs of various industries and markets, and breathing new life into established forms of knowledge sharing.

Ricoh views business, society and the planet as interconnected. Ricoh Group aims to create new markets and value propositions by looking broadly at social issues (Materiality) and taking on the challenges to resolve them while simultaneously achieving social development and Ricoh's own business growth.
