Ricohs

Ricohs is not a commonly recognized term for a distinct organization. In most contexts, it may be a mistaken plural or informal shorthand for Ricoh, a Japanese multinational company known for imaging and office technology. There is no widely cited independent entity named “Ricohs” in major reference sources.

Ricoh Company, Ltd., usually referred to simply as Ricoh, is a Japanese multinational corporation headquartered in Tokyo. The company designs, manufactures, and sells imaging and office equipment, including printers, multifunction devices, copiers, digital cameras, and industrial imaging systems. It also provides information technology services, managed document services, and production printing solutions for business and graphic arts customers. Ricoh operates globally, with a network of subsidiaries and service centers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

Historically, Ricoh traces its origins to early imaging and optical product manufacturing in Japan and expanded internationally in the postwar era. The name Ricoh was adopted as part of its corporate rebranding and growth into a diversified imaging company. Over time, the company broadened its portfolio to emphasize digital workflows, IT services, and sustainable imaging solutions, aligning with shifts in office and production environments.

Ricoh’s business model centers on imaging technology and document solution services. It serves consumer, small-business, and large-enterprise markets, offering hardware, software, and consulting to optimize printing, copying, scanning, and document management. As a global corporation, Ricoh maintains headquarters in Tokyo and operates numerous regional offices, manufacturing sites, and R&D centers worldwide, and it is listed on the Japanese stock market.
