Case Study: Grafica Maguncia

Case Study: Grafica Maguncia

Prepared by Sol Rodriguez, Ricoh Argentina

History and context

Gráfica Maguncia was born in 1983 as a publishing house specialized in logistics and transport economics. Over the years, it evolved into a creative boutique and, in 1996, it became an integral printing company, editing, designing and printing its own products. Among its first milestones was the production of teacher training books for the National Ministry of Education.

Located in Balvanera, a strategic area with high educational density, Maguncia today offers printing solutions for institutes, universities, creative agencies, embassies and leading commercial brands. Over time and with the impulse of the production manager, Pilar Brandi, they have been able to adapt to technological changes to stay at the forefront of the industry, migrating from traditional offset to the digital world.

Business challenge

The relationship with Ricoh began in 2018, during the launch event of the Ricoh Pro C9200 industrial color printer. At the time, in an increasingly competitive environment, Mainz was facing the need to expand its production capacity, improve its lead times and diversify its offering with high-quality technology. They were also looking to partner with a reliable supplier, offering efficient after-sales support, availability of supplies and affordable spare parts.

Ricoh Solution

To accompany the growth of its operation and respond to the needs of its customers, Gráfica Maguncia progressively incorporated different high-volume printing solutions, consolidating a robust and versatile technological infrastructure.

They started with two Ricoh Pro C5100s production printers and then added a Ricoh Pro 8200, a Ricoh Pro 8220, a Ricoh Pro L5160e plotter and finally the Ricoh Pro C5300s, which completed their machine fleet.

"We decided to continue with the 5000 line because it is very versatile and of unquestionable print quality. Being able to work with paper from 60 to 360 grams and synthetic substrates makes it an agile tool for both short and medium runs. It is an economical, reliable and high-performance machine," says Luis Brandi, owner of the printing company.

Results

Thanks to Ricoh solutions, Gráfica Maguncia achieved:

  • Significantly raise the quality of its products
  • Reduce operating times
  • Expand your service offering
  • Optimize your workflow
  • Consolidate as a reliable supplier for demanding customers

Luis Brandi highlights: "Having solid equipment, available spare parts, affordable supplies and an after-sales service that is attentive to the customer's needs are what anyone involved in production values highly."

In addition, Luis told Ricoh that they have their sights set on continuing to innovate: "Mainz plans to incorporate 5th color production equipment, such as the Ricoh Pro C7500, to further expand its offerings to advertising agencies and creative bureaus".

This is another example of how Ricoh LATAM drives digital transformation in the graphic arts sector, accompanying its customers at every stage of growth. Gráfica Maguncia and Ricoh co-create innovative experiences in the workspace, increasing productivity, quality and responsiveness to an increasingly demanding market.

Ricoh Latin America and Grafica Maguncia acted together in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for a better future:

Case Study: AES Servicios America

Case Study: AES Servicios America

Prepared by Sol Rodriguez, Ricoh Argentina

History and context

AES Servicios America is a company that is part of The AES Corporation, a leading company in the transition to renewable energies at a global level. In recent years, the organization went through a growth process that generated new needs in terms of meeting spaces and collaborative technology, presenting a special challenge in terms of the quality of hybrid meetings, which have been consolidated in recent years as a new model of organizational culture.

Business challenge

AES Servicios America's challenge was to adapt its building and technological infrastructure to improve the quality of hybrid meetings and to accompany its organizational growth by prioritizing a better meeting experience for its employees. It was necessary to create a large, modern and flexible space that would allow mass meetings, celebrations and meetings with an equitable experience for all participants.

"We found ourselves with hybrid meetings where the person speaking was not well focused or we did not have good microphones and those who participated remotely could not hear or see well, and that ultimately affected the quality of the meeting. We needed something that would be more enjoyable for everyone and that the experience would be good both for those who were in person and in remote format", summarized Fernanda Ibarra, project leader at AES, emphasizing the importance of simplicity and comfort in the interaction.

Ricoh Solution

At Ricoh, we worked with the AES team to design and implement a comprehensive solution to meet these challenges. "Ricoh advised us not only in terms of the features of the equipment but fundamentally in achieving good experiences. For example, they suggested not only having a screen in front, but designing a space so that, no matter where you are located, you always have a place to refer to in a simple way to follow a presentation."

Through the development of a state-of-the-art auditorium, collaborative technologies adapted to the new ways of working were incorporated:

  • Installation of multiple strategically placed digital Signage displays, based on a heat map, to ensure visibility from any point in the auditorium.
  • Audiovisual solutions with cameras, audio and microphonesin ceilings that allow: capturing voices, eliminating the need to share microphones and focus on who is speaking, improving the visual and sound quality of meetings.
  • Audiovisual control room, where an operator manages sound and image in real time to optimize each presentation.
This solution was designed not only to solve technical needs, but also to offer an intuitive, fluid and seamless experience.

Results

The implementation was highly valued by the AES team. The new auditorium became a central space for the organizational culture, allowing for more dynamic, close and participatory meetings.

Among the benefits highlighted by the organization:

  • More effective and fluid hybrid meetings.
  • Greater integration between remote and on-site collaborators.
  • Use of the auditorium for mass events, training and celebrations.
  • High end-user satisfaction thanks to user-friendly, high-performance technology.

"People value good technology, but above all experience. With this, meetings are more dynamic, closer and without so much interference, making everything flow," concluded Fernanda Ibarra.

Ricoh Latin America and AES Servicios America acted together in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for a better future:

Ricoh at a global level is a company committed to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by solving social problems through business with the sole purpose of achieving economic growth, a better planet. and a better society.

Case Study: Grafinorte

Case Study: Grafinorte

Prepared by Renata Do Santos, Ricoh Brasil

Grafinorte, an important printing industry in the Southern Region of Brazil, entrusted Ricoh with the beginning of the modernization of its printing park, concentrated almost entirely on large analog offset machines, whose costs and production time are not suitable for short runs.

History and context

Created 33 years ago, Grafinorte belongs to the Tribuna Group, which also publishes the daily newspaper Tribuna do Norte. The newspaper and the printing company are based in Apucarana, in the north of the State of Paraná. The printing company occupies an area of more than 20,000 m² and provides services to companies throughout Brazil, in the publishing and advertising markets, with the production of catalogs, magazines, inserts, folders, envelopes, calendars, notebooks and brochures. Grafinorte employs 120 people and produces 500 titles per month, which add up to 8 million prints.

Business challenge

Grafinorte faced problems such as not having large digital equipment that would allow faster and better costs in short-run printing, which is now highly demanded, especially in the promotional market. In addition, it faced a lack of specialized labor in the region where it operates.

The existence of almost exclusively analog equipment in the Grafinorte park was an ingredient that needed to be overcome to maintain its competitiveness in the market. In addition, the company had demands for print quality improvement and technological standardization.

Ricoh's work at Grafinorte to propose a project to modernize its printing plant lasted two months and began with an immersion in the company to understand its business. Difficulties were detected in internal processes and the existence of only one digital printer of an entry model was verified, insufficient to meet market demands.

A stage of solution mapping was then initiated, in RGC and color mapping, followed by quality tests and approval of substrates. The conclusion of the negotiations was to demonstrate the advantages of Ricoh solutions compared to other products available on the market.

Ricoh Solution

Grafinorte acquired, in addition to a Ricoh PRO C9500 large digital press, a finishing module with booklet, a print server (Fiery) and a Color Profile Suite equipment with ES-3000. Grafinorte also contracted Ricoh Services for pre and post-press process automation, color management and monitoring (Remote+ARMS), as well as a graphic arts package.

Findings

In addition to opening Grafinorte's doors to new Ricoh solutions for the eventual continuity of the modernization of its printing park, the implemented project produced concrete results:

The following were achieved:

  • Agility in the printing process, with a reduction in production time from two to one day.
  • 50% reduction in labor used.
  • Expansion of the variety of media that can be printed, adding to the two existing stickers, vinyl, cardboard in 350g/m² and newspaper in 45g/m².
  • Time savings in bending, clamping and plate engraving processes.
  • Overall, productivity gains of 40% were achieved

"We had been looking for months for a solution that would reduce costs, processes and bring improvement in print quality. We find all these attributes in the Ricoh PRO C9500. With it, printing, stapling, and folding, all in the same process. Materials that we used to make in two days, today we make in 24 hours. In addition, the other solutions offered by Ricoh have greatly increased our productivity. Thank you, Ricoh, for the partnership" - André Marçal, director of Grafinorte.

Ricoh Latin America and Grafinorte acted together in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for a better future:

Ricoh at a global level is a company committed to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by solving social problems through business with the sole purpose of achieving economic growth, a better planet. and a better society.

Automation and safety: the new factors defining productivity in diverse work environments

Automation and Safety: Keys to Workplace Productivity

Mexico City, Mexico, April 21st, 2025 – Deloitte's Global Human Capital Trends 2025 survey revealed that the main drivers for investing in new technologies are enabling the workforce to do more and do it faster and reducing costs. However, the most strategic motives identified by respondents include enabling collaboration between people and machines to generate joint value, facilitating the creation of new types of value by the workforce, and improving employee well-being.

In this new scenario, edge technologies for real-time data and agile decisions, collaborative tools that strengthen hybrid work, increased investment in security to protect data in distributed environments, and solutions that optimize resources and increase operational efficiency by automating processes.

These dynamics are redefining the role of the CEO, who today leads not only technology adoption, but also the cultural evolution of his or her organization, from the office to a digital ecosystem. Modernizing workspaces is no longer an option, but a strategy to increase productivity, attract talent, and respond with agility to market changes. Turning the workplace into a center of experience has a direct impact on the competitiveness of companies in an increasingly challenging environment.

Ricoh LATAM proposes a comprehensive vision to accompany organizations in their adaptation to the new work environment. The company responds to these four key trends with a unique approach that combines technology, strategy, and experience: it promotes the use of real-time data through Edge solutions to improve decision-making; it strengthens hybrid work with tools that integrate digital collaboration; it implements automation systems that optimize resources and operational processes. It also develops security solutions adapted to distributed environments. This proposal is not limited to implementing technology but seeks to transform the employee experience as an axis for improving productivity and competitiveness in the region's companies.

In Latin America, where economic growth has been limited with an average of only 2% in the last decade, according to the IMF, the workplace takes on a strategic role. Modernizing work environments has a direct impact on three key fronts: it improves productivity, responds to changes in employment dynamics and allows the integration of technologies that accelerate digital transformation. In this context, the design of the workspace ceases to be operational and becomes a factor of regional competitiveness.

In this context, Ricoh LATAM launches an innovative proposal of technological solutions and managed services to create more agile and connected work environments, transforming the traditional office into a digital space adapted to the challenges of today. This value proposition was presented at the Ricoh Summit 2025, an annual event that brings together around 500 people from 14 Latin American countries, along with strategic allies such as Ingram Micro, Crestron, Kramer, Zebra, Intcomex, LG, Biamp, Wesco | Anixter, and many more technology leaders.

“Today, companies face the great challenge of redesigning their work environments to respond to a new reality: more demanding employees, more complex hybrid models, and a constant pressure to increase productivity. Transforming the workplace is no longer an option, it is a strategic decision that directly impacts the well-being of talent, operational efficiency, and business competitiveness. At Ricoh LATAM, we are leading this change, accompanying organizations co-creating solutions that integrate people, processes, and technology in a sustainable and scalable way.”, explained Diego Imperio, President and CEO of Ricoh LATAM.

Ricoh Workplace Security: Protection and Efficiency for the Workplace of the Future

Organizations need solutions that enable them to ensure operational continuity without compromising security. This prompted Ricoh to design a security model specifically for the modern workplace: flexible, integrated and people centric. Workplace Security was created in response to the challenges companies face when managing physical and digital assets in hybrid environments, and as part of a broader vision that links technology, protection and productivity in a single ecosystem.

One of the most notable launches during the event was Ricoh Workplace Security, an end-to-end solution developed in direct response to the new challenges of the modern work environment. In a context where organizations operate in hybrid models, with distributed information flows and environments increasingly exposed to risk, Ricoh designed this proposal to protect critical assets without sacrificing operational agility. The solution combines hardware, software, and professional services to strengthen physical and digital security, automate key processes, and ensure regulatory compliance, all with a focus on efficiency and employee experience.

What does this solution include?

  • High-definition IP video surveillance cameras, with advanced analytics (motion detection, facial recognition, people counting).
