Danvers, MA – July 14, 2009 – RISO, Inc., a leader in digital printing technology, today announced the opening of its new Boston branch, which will serve the entire state of Massachusetts. The Boston branch will serve the RISO customer base that is being acquired from RPB Systems & Services, a RISO dealer. The target date for that acquisition is July 31, 2009 and the Boston branch will formally open on August 1, 2009.
“This is an exciting time for RISO, as the establishment of our Boston branch and our other planned RISO Technology Centers are key initiatives in our next phase of sustained growth,” said Todd Deluca, President and COO of RISO, Inc. “Our continued success and market expansion are being driven by demand for our innovative ink-based production printers, including our recently launched ComColor® inkjet series. We have already seen growth in revenue in the first quarter of our current fiscal year. While many of our competitors are shrinking their businesses, we are building ours.”
“The opening of these new facilities builds on the enthusiasm we have seen from our recent North American launch of the new ComColor inkjet series,” said David Murphy, Vice President of Marketing for RISO, Inc. “We now have broadened opportunities to penetrate new commercial markets such as financial, healthcare, utilities, and other print-intensive markets. We are working strategically with our customers in these new markets to meet their increased demand for our inkjet production printers, as well as for our high-speed digital duplicators.”
RISO currently has 35 open job positions in its direct operations across the country and the August branch opening will provide a source of new job opportunities in the Boston area. RISO’s new Boston branch will be located at 300 Rosewood Drive in Danvers, Massachusetts.
