Template:Nihongo is a Japanese multinational imaging and electronics company.

Ricoh's headquarters are located in Ōta, Tokyo.<ref>"Company Data Template:Webarchive." Ricoh. Retrieved on January 13, 2009.</ref>

Ricoh produces electronic products, primarily cameras and office equipment such as printers, photocopiers, fax machines, offers Software as a Service (SaaS) document management applications such as DocumentMall, RicohDocs, GlobalScan, Print&Share,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> MakeLeaps and also offers Projectors. In the late 1990s through early 2000s, the company grew to become the largest copier manufacturer in the world. During this time, Ricoh acquired Savin, Gestetner, Lanier, Rex-Rotary, Monroe, Nashuatec, IKON and most recently IBM Printing Systems Division / Infoprint Solutions Company. Although the Monroe brand was discontinued, products continue to be marketed worldwide under the remaining brand names. In 2006, Ricoh acquired the European operations of Danka for $210 million. These operations continue as a stand-alone business unit, under the Infotec brand.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
