GLOBAL TECH FIRM Ricoh is expanding its Irish operation with the announcement of 110 new jobs and an investment of €6.5M in their Irish HQ in Swords, north Dublin.
The base at Airside Business Park will fill the new positions over a three-year period and, when finished, will bring its total workforce in Ireland to 190.
In the last 18 months alone, the company created 30 jobs, separate to the 110 new jobs announced today.
The new positions on offer are in the areas of technical engineering, software solutions, business development and operations management.

“This jobs announcement showcases Ireland’s attractiveness to global organisations as a business hub. We have an extremely talented, multinational workforce and Ricoh is demonstrating its faith and confidence in our people with this announcement today.”
