Ricoh has announced the 90th anniversary of its founding, marking nine decades of innovation and growth. The company extends its sincere appreciation to customers, partners, shareholders, employees and all others who have supported Ricoh throughout its history.

Guided by its founding principle, the "Spirit of Three Loves: Love your neighbor, Love your country, Love your work,” Ricoh has strived in supporting human creativity to realize a sustainable society, by staying close to its customers and continuously driving transformation. The workplace is changing at an unprecedented pace and the values demanded are diversifying. However, Ricoh has always believed that supporting the creativity of working people remains as important as ever in any era. To realize its mission and vision, "Fulfillment through Work," Ricoh is committed to continue to take on challenges alongside its stakeholders over the next decade, leading up to its centennial in 2036 and beyond.

Reflecting on Ricoh's 90th Anniversary

"Looking back over 90 years, we see a company that has learned by listening and evolved through adaptation," said Jake Yamashita, chairperson, Ricoh. "While change has been constant, our values have provided continuity. By staying close to how people work, we have consistently delivered value to our customers — and this approach will not change as we look to the future."

"Ricoh's 90-year history has been sustained by the trust of our stakeholders," said Akira Oyama, president and CEO, Ricoh. "I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the continued support we have received over many years. That trust is something we value deeply, and it shapes how we engage with society and how we approach our responsibilities as a global company."

To commemorate its 90th anniversary, Ricoh will launch a special anniversary website in late February. The site will feature Ricoh's founding principles, its corporate philosophy, The Ricoh Way, messages from top management, and highlights from its history and initiatives, reflecting Ricoh's appreciation for the continued support of its stakeholders.
