Five Decades of History

Rico was founded in 1969, as a manufacture of plate rolls and drilling machines.  In 1975, Rico began manufacturing press brakes and guillotine shears and soon began to export internationally.  Sales surged in the early eighties as the reputation for quality and performance grew.

In a competitive world of challenges, Rico remains a family owned business with a sustainable growth strategy focused on quality and innovative solutions.  All research and development is done internally, in cooperation with universities and a network of reliable suppliers.
