    Toshiba Tec partners with Riso to develop inkjet products

    In a Dec 22 2023 announcement, Toshiba Tec intends to transfer on July 01 2024 it's inkjet printhead division into a subsiduary controlled by Riso Corp to develop new inkjet products.

    Notice of Transfer of Inkjet Head Business to RISO KAGAKU CORPORATION via Company Split (Simplified Absorption-Type Company Split) (toshibatec.com)

    Riso has a high end line of inkjet printers and MFPs.

    Toshiba Tec will receive approx $50M USD for the sale of this asset.

    "RISO KAGAKU possesses advanced technology and development capabilities in the inkjet printer field. Toshiba Tec has set forth a management policy to expand the inkjet business, and by integrating with RISO KAGAKU, it will be possible to effectively invest resources. Toshiba Tec believes significant growth can be expected from the additional increase in added value."

    This does not effect or alter the planned joint manufacturing venture with Ricoh.

      The industrial inkjet print head division seemed to mainly cater to the Japanese market. If the sale of assets continues as described Toshiba Tec will receive $50,000 USD from Riso, not $50M.

      It is premature for me to describe this as somehow a partnership for Toshiba Tec to resell Toshiba branded Riso product. I have seen where Toshiba America bundles in Riso product into their quotes.
