Ricoh has announced the acquisition of Canadian workplace technology and collaboration integrator ET Group. The deal, completed by Ricoh Canada Inc., strengthens the company’s position as a provider of end- to-end workplace experience solutions and accelerates its expansion into high growth digital services.
It also supports Ricoh’s global strategy to meet the needs of an evolving workplace environment. The acquisition brings ET Group’s extensive audiovisual engineering expertise into Ricoh’s portfolio. Known for designing, delivering and supporting enterprise-wide collaboration environments, particularly for government and other highly regulated sectors, the integration enhances Ricoh’s ability to deliver scalable, technology-driven workplace solutions across Canada.
