PRECISION IDEAS

At RICO we have an experienced technical team focusing upon the latest technological develop-ments, placing RICO equipment to the front of technical innovations, ie CNC controls inter-faced with robotized cells, deflection systems, tooling systems, operator safety guarding.

The ongoing evolution of RICO products is the upshot of the talent, ambition, boldness of our RICO team, who strive to respond to the ever changing demands of our clients.Our goals, first and foremost are to suggest the most appropriate solutions to our clients,

in other words, the solution that provides the most cost effective solution. We set great store by after-sales service, the RICO team work closely with customers when solving problems or giving technical support.

We currently have exclusive representation in over 15 countries, each of the RICO interna-tional repesentitive companies are fully sup-ported by the RICO team with commercial and technical services, technical product training.

RICO, an internationally recognised brand, was created and developed by the company Tomás

Castro Silva, Lda. For over 40 years RICO have focused on the development and

manufacture of sheet metal and fabrication machinery.

RICO EVOLUTION

1969 1975 1987 2005 2009

Partnership with a world renowned manufacturer

Partnership with one of the world’s largest manu-facturers of press brakes and guillotines, the Italian company Gasparini.

FOUNDATIONRICO commenced with the production and development of drilling devices and rammers

Thanks to their robust-ness, reliability and qual-ity, these products quickly won over the national market. This success al-lowed the development of further new projects, projects related to cutting and plate forming.

Launch of the first bending machines and guillotines

There was a commit-ment to guillotines and press brakes, having introduced onto the national market our first press brake and guillotines.

Start of export activity

As from the 1980’s RICO began to appear at various international exhibitions, export activity commenced with representations in England and Spain, until finally representation was achieved on the 5 continents.

Partnerships with state-of-the-art tech-nology

Partnership with a Ro-botics company with a view to developing specific robotized bending cell solutions.

REFERENCE CUSTOMERSWHERE WE ARE

Over time RICO has gained the trust of major clients, both on the national and international markets.

The RICO team philosophy is that whilst striving to be cost competitive within our market, the RICO team must not lose sight of the need to be thorough and professional in all other related aspects.

PRECISION IDEAS

The quality guarantees are the upshot of over 40 years research, experience anda strong commitment to the manufacture of sheet metal machines.

RICO machines are designed to offer robust structures that are manufactured as a welded monoblock structure, the materi-als used are adequately sized to ensure the machines peak performance through cutting or bending operations.

Its machining is carried out by CNC ma-chines which ensures all the perpendi-cularities, parallelisms and tolerances.

In a world which is constantly innovating, RICO keeps up with the latest technological developments, being responsible for design and hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and electronic assembly so as to better serve the client with quality machines and assu-rances of a speedy, effective service.

We ensure immediate intervention for any urgent request, either in terms of possible breakdowns, or in training and the clarification of queries where we have highly qualified technicians who can provide the best contribution in the quest for better bending solutions.

Over the years RICO has been developing manufacturing methods which ensure the best quality of its final product.

Technical support is vital for the smooth performance of our equipment and this is why in 2007 we took the decision to provide free, lifelong training to all our clients.
