In a strategic move to expand its production print finishing capabilities across Europe, Ricoh has acquired Netherlands-based finishing specialist – Albyco.
Founded in 1994, Albyco offers its own brand of machines and supplies as well as kit from GMP, Neolt, and Bomco, among others. It also specialises in finishing kit for a wide variety of print related products for digital label, signage, and packaging applications.
Ricoh stated the integration of Albyco’s expertise into its portfolio “enhances the company’s end-to-end print solutions offering, benefiting Ricoh’s production print customers with an extended range of finishing capabilities”. Meanwhile, Albyco customers will now have access to Ricoh’s comprehensive technology portfolio.
