well as better color quality. We will also release the Aficio Color 3000, 4000,
and 6000 series overseas.
On the production front, we have started making digital equipment in
China. This complements bases in Japan, the United States, and Europe. We
are also stepping up consumables production in each region to match global
demand.
The 25-cpm Aficio 250 has won top marks for its
space-saving output cavity at BERTRAND FAURE
DEUTSCHLAND GMBH, a top producer of car seats
based in Stadthagen, Germany.
Ricoh strengthened its 27-year partnership with
FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF AUSTRALIA through
the Aficio 450, selected in line with comprehen-
sive efforts to cut the automaker’s costs and bolster
productivity. Pictured is Ken Isaac, facilities mate-
rials and services purchasing buyer.
The Aficio Color 5206’s ability to produce top-
quality images quickly and at low cost prompted
the SPANISH NATIONAL POLICE to buy 50 units
of this machine fitted with slide projectors. The
copiers output high-resolution images of speed
offenders, taken by hidden cameras on national
highways.
The EUROPEAN SERVICE PARTS CENTRE ware-
houses more than 160,000 service parts for Ricoh
machines, and ships to more than 1,000 locations
in Europe in as little as four hours after receiving
orders.
