Toronto, ON – February 2, 2026
ET Group today announced that it has joined Ricoh Canada as a wholly owned subsidiary, marking an exciting new chapter in ET Group’s growth as a trusted partner for Canada’s most critical workplace environments.
For 50 years, ET Group has supported organizations with complex, mission-critical collaboration needs. ET Group designs, integrates, and supports secure, resilient, enterprise-grade audiovisual and hybrid workplace solutions, and is trusted by major corporations, government, and judicial systems to deliver seamless, reliable collaboration experiences. This acquisition with Ricoh allows ET Group to further enhances its ability to provide scalable, technology driven workplace solutions across Canada.
Importantly, ET Group will continue to operate independently under its existing brand and leadership team. Customers will continue working with the same ET Group people they trust-now supported by Ricoh’s global scale, digital services capabilities, and investment in workplace innovation.
“Joining Ricoh allows us to scale our impact while staying true to the culture and values that define ET Group,” said Ahmed Ameen, Chief Operating Officer, ET Group. “Our shared commitment to empowering and supporting our people, as well as our focus on enabling more effective ways of working, opens exciting opportunities for meaningful growth.”
Preserving Culture While Expanding Capability
ET Group has built a strong reputation not only for technical excellence, but also for its people-centered culture. The company has been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Workplaces for three consecutive years, ranking 15th nationally for organizations with 100-999 employees. ET Group is known for its innovative, self-managed organizational model that empowers teams, supports continuous growth, and enables employees to do their best work.
These values closely align with Ricoh’s global corporate philosophy and Ricoh North America’s Culture of Excellence-creating a shared foundation centered on trust, accountability, and respect. This alignment ensures that ET Group’s unique culture and high standards of service remain at the core of the business as it grows within Ricoh.
Expanded Value for Customers
By joining Ricoh, ET Group strengthens its ability to support organizations across the full workplace technology lifecycle, including:
- Enterprise-grade AV design, integration, and support
- Unified Communications & Collaboration (UCC) solutions for hybrid work
- Managed workplace and technology services
- On-site support and workplace experience programs
For customers, this means deeper technical resources, broader service coverage, and a more comprehensive portfolio that brings AV, collaboration platforms, and workplace services together into a unified experience-while preserving ET Group’s hands-on, people-centered approach to delivery.
ET Group will continue to focus on mission-critical environments where communication and collaboration are essential to daily operations, including government, education, financial services, healthcare, and other highly regulated industries.
