Ricoh Advances Workplace Services Strategy with New Acquisition

Ricoh Company of Japan and Ricoh Asia Pacific today announced that they had acquired Global Vision Multimedia Group, a specialized provider of audio-visual and multimedia integration services with deep expertise across the Asia-Pacific region. Ricoh did not disclose the cost of the acquisition.
The acquisition is said to accelerate Ricoh’s expansion of its workplace services portfolio and service delivery footprint in the region, reinforcing Ricoh’s global strategy to support customers’ evolving needs by elevating their workplace experience through more seamless and scalable services.
Founded in 2016, Global Vision Multimedia brings end-to-end services spanning the design, integration, and ongoing support for AV and multimedia solutions and over 140 experts across the region. Global Vision Multimedia serves multinational corporations and leading regional enterprises across multiple industry sectors, supported by local expertise and the ability to centrally manage complex, multi-country projects, ensuring consistent, high-quality service delivery across the region.
Ricoh says that the acquisition further strengthens its position as a global integrator, meeting the needs of customers across the Asia-Pacific region.
“Customers across Asia-Pacific are looking for workplace services that are consistent across markets and grounded in local execution,” explained Kei Uesugi, managing director of Ricoh Asia Pacific. “Bringing Global Vision Multimedia into Ricoh strengthens our ability to deliver exactly that — combining their regional track record and specialist capability with the scale and reach of Ricoh’s global workplace services portfolio. This is about giving our customers a partner who can meet their needs wherever they operate.”
Kenny Liow, Director of Global Vision Multimedia, added: “Joining Ricoh is the next chapter for Global Vision Multimedia. Our team has built a strong reputation across the region for delivering complex, multi-country AV and multimedia projects, and Ricoh’s global platform now gives us the scale to do more of that, for more customers, in more markets. What stays the same is our commitment to the quality, attention to detail and partnership our customers expect from us.”
Ricoh says it continues to make investments globally to deliver enhanced meeting experiences and workplace experience solutions for organizations worldwide, including the acquisition of Cenero (U.S.), DataVision, Pure AV, AVC (EMEA), Videocorp and Go2neXt (Latin America), and ET Group (Canada).
