Ricoh Group Sustainability Report 201253
Production Printing
Expansion of product portfolios and the sales and services system
Full-range line-up of products based on
integrated marketing and development
Making full use of technology and know-how accumulated through its
experience as a printer manufacturer and its alliance as a solution vendor,
the Ricoh Group has developed a line-up of high-performance products
to address the various needs of customers, including cost reduction
and security. In June 2011, we launched “RICOH Pro C751EX/C651EX,”
equipped with functions to provide high-definition output and to adapt to
different types of paper, while achieving excellent cost performance. This
series, along with the RICOH Pro C901 series, which are already highly
recognized, have achieved a high market share in Japan and abroad. In
2012, we announced the “RICOH Pro L4000,” an inkjet color wide-format
printer. With these new products, Ricoh has been focusing on enhancing
its product portfolio, ranging from cut-sheet to continuous paper printers
and wide-format paper printers.
In its efforts to expand the production printing business, the Ricoh
Group has not only improved the quality and reliability of its printing
equipment but has also established a system to provide total solutions.
In April 2011, Ricoh and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) in
Germany signed a global strategic cooperation agreement. By the end of
March 2012, Heidelberg was selling Ricoh’s production printing products
in 18 countries.
We attribute continued success in Western Europe to the broad
capabilities of our extremely responsive, high quality solutions,
including the Pro C901 Graphic Arts Edition digital production press
and the Pro C751 series. Our clients also recognise that investment
in Ricoh technology is accompanied by long term support and
guidance through a wide range of additional services, knowledge and
expertise. The quality of our products, combined with the breadth of
our services and the depth of our post-sale support, positions Ricoh as
a true business partner to print service providers of all sizes throughout
Western Europe.
