Based at its new Irish headquarters in Swords, Co Dublin, the Japanese tech company already employs 80 people in Ireland and Ricoh says the plan is to bring the total workforce here to 190 by 2019.

The news comes with steady growth in the company’s Irish operations and it is hopes revenues within the company’s operations in this country hoped to double from €16 million to €32 million over the next three years.

The roles will be in the areas of technical engineering, software solutions, business development and operations management.

Ricoh UK and Ireland chief executive Phil Keoghan said the decision to invest was a reflection of the skilled workforce and international relations that make it a very attractive location for any organisation with a global presence.
