Print OEMs Brother and Ricoh have unveiled a ‘strategic alliance’ in the A4 segment in Canada.

 

Building on a similar arrangement in the US – announced in June 2025 – the companies have now promised to “provide a comprehensive portfolio of complementary print solutions” to customers in Canada.

 

Citing the need to offer a “broader A4 strategy” driven by the needs of hybrid and remote work, the agreement means Ricoh will be able to supply Brother’s more compact devices alongside its existing A4 portfolio.

 

According to a joint press release: “The expanded portfolio adds new, increased options for document-intensive work environments, such as healthcare, legal, financial and retail organisations, to manage their complete print infrastructure through a single vendor, using a common print management platform – RICOH Streamline NX – that is being adapted to support Brother devices.”

 

Scott Dabice, VP of commercial strategy and operations at Ricoh North America, added: “By expanding our A4 portfolio to include the Brother Exclusive series, we’re giving customers more choice, more value and more ways to build print environments that fit the way people work today.”
