In this
article, we would like to give you an insight into a recent company visit we had
with Ricoh Europe. Among other things, we would like to share with you some
questions we asked the Sales and Marketing Manager Mr. Ké¼sters. But also, we are going to
reveal some interesting developments that are coming from Ricoh in near
future.

Introduction:

More
information about Ricoh Europe B.V. and their products can be found at their homepage.

The Meeting:

Ricoh
Europe B.V. is located in Dé¼sseldorf, which is the state
capital of the German Federal State '“ North Rhine-Westphalia.

The CDFreaks staff
members Jan S. and Torsten P. had no problems getting there since they both live
in the same German Federal State. Now, we would like to continue this article to
hear their own words and impressions:

When entering Ricoh, we
are welcomed by the Sales & Marketing Manager Mr. Ké¼sters,
which we have been in contact with for some time already. It's of course, always
exciting to finally meet a correspondence acquaintance in person.

 We entered one of
Ricoh's conference rooms and we took the opportunity to take a photo of Ricoh
Media product palette:
