Founded in 1946, RISO^tm (the Japanese word for IDEAL) continually strives to "create fundamentally unique product" - a development philosophy which has helped us give birth to truly unique products

Development of Environmentally-Friendly Products

Since inception, Riso has fostered the belief that technological advance need not go against nature. This commitment to the environment is a core value engrained within the Riso culture, and is evident in our development of products that are designed to work in close, harmony with nature, from our most basic models to the latest EcoCopier range.

Resource and Energy Saving

We understand the conflict faced by business in balancing the need for a printing solution that reduces operating cost against growing concern for the environment. Innovation and environmental concerns no longer have to be mutually exclusive objectives: Our range of products are designed with patented, cutting-edge technology that deliver incredible performance at a fraction of the cost, time and energy consumption involved with conventional printing technologies. The inverse proportion between escalating energy rates and the reduction in supply and reliability has necessitated the need for prudent businesses to become increasingly proactive in the way the manage power. At Riso we are uniquely geared to overcome this issue - every printer sold comes with its own back-up power source to keep you up and running, even when the energy grid is down.

Local Environmental Protection & Education

As Energy Star rated company, we take our social responsibility very seriously, and also adhere to the RoHS and WEEE regulations. We also support various wildlife conservation schemes (such as the WESSA, Legend Wildlife Centre White Lion project), and community ventures (Food & Trees for Africa). From a corporate perspective any reduction in energy usage benefits profitability. But just as important, if not more-so, it benefits the environment, helping to ensure that we leave behind a lasting legacy for the future generations.

Implementing a Riso -solution offers a two-fold advantage:
(1) Helping you cut down in time and money and gain the competitive edge, and
(2) Unlike toner-based printers, Riso printers are free from ozone emissions, toner particle emissions, and other air pollutants. In fact, our printers do not emit any greenhouse gases and help reduce your carbon footprint.

Despite being the forerunners in our sphere of industry, we don't just sell printers... We tailor printing solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients-your Ideal is our Ideal. And now for the first time, your business can enjoy the added impact and immediacy of colour on a black & white budget with the EcoCopier.
