RICOH LEASING COMPANY,LTD. [8566.T]
TOKYO, Feb 6 (Pulse News Wire) -- Ricoh Leasing Company, Ltd. (8566.T), announced today that its board of directors has approved a change in its company name and certain amendments to its articles of incorporation, subject to approval by shareholders at its upcoming annual general meeting scheduled for June 29, 2026. The company will be renamed as Ritres Co., Ltd. ().
The decision to change the company's name comes after nearly five decades of operation during which Ricoh Leasing has supported small and medium-sized enterprises through equipment financing and business expansion. Established in 1976 to provide sales support for Ricoh products via leasing services, the company has grown alongside its clients while adapting to evolving market needs. According to the announcement, the new name reflects the company’s broader scope beyond traditional leasing services, aiming to transform itself from a finance-oriented enterprise to one deeply involved in various businesses.
The proposed changes include updating Article One of the company’s articles of incorporation to reflect the new name. Under the revised version, the current designation “RICOH LEASING COMPANY, LTD.” would be replaced with “RITRES Co., Ltd.” The amended articles also stipulate that these changes will take effect on December 1, 2026. Additionally, an appendix detailing the effective date of the amendment will be included in the updated articles, which will be removed once the effective date is passed.
