In July 2026, ETRIA issued an official announcement that its four manufacturing facilities in China and Thailand have undergone unified brand rebranding. Ricoh’s core manufacturing base, formerly known as Ricoh Creative Manufacturing Co., Ltd., has officially changed its name to ETRIA (Dongguan) Copier Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Founded in 2024 as a joint venture between Ricoh and Toshiba TEC, ETRIA absorbed OKI’s printing manufacturing resources in 2025, evolving into a shared R&D and mass production platform for the three major Japanese brands. This rebranding only revises corporate brand names. The Dongguan factory’s physical location, full production lines and original factory technical standards remain unchanged. Moving forward, unified large-scale production will be leveraged to boost overall equipment supply efficiency.
As manufacturing resources of the three brands converge, the industry faces prominent procurement challenges: accelerated replacement of old and new equipment models, mixed deployment of multi-brand machines, and unstable supply of original OEM consumables. Businesses are increasingly demanding a one-stop, stable supporting supply chain solution.
Kolit: Strategic Official Supply Chain Partner of Ricoh, Catering to Integrated Industry Procurement Needs
As Ricoh (China)’s 2025 Tier-1 Strategic Supply Chain Partner and authorized OEM toner processor, Kolit is fully aligned with this industry-wide manufacturing consolidation trend:
1.Direct supply of genuine Ricoh bulk toner, standardized filling and repackaging at our own production bases. Toner formulas match original OEM specifications, with compliant private-label packaging to eliminate counterfeiting and intellectual property infringement risks.
2.13,000 sq.m. warehouse space plus four large manufacturing bases carrying massive in-stock inventory covering the full range of Ricoh consumables. We also maintain a full stock of spare parts and remanufactured copiers for mainstream brands including Canon.
Industry Outlook
Centralized manufacturing of Japanese printing hardware has become an irreversible trend, and the traditional single-brand OEM supply model is gradually declining. Backed by official OEM cooperation qualifications and abundant ready stock, Kolit delivers one-stop consumable and complete machine supporting solutions for print shops, government and enterprise clients, helping businesses smoothly navigate procurement disruptions caused by frequent equipment model upgrades.
