That means every Ricoma employee knows our embroidery machines inside and out. Our certified customer support staff is equipped to assist you 7 days a week (seriously, whenever you need a hand they’re just a call or webcam session away.) Aside from being the manufacturers and offering unparalleled customer support, here is what to physically expect when you go with Ricoma.

Ricoma technicians are available to you 7 days a week. When you’re starting off, you’re likely running your machine during the weekends if you have other commitments during the workweek. We understand that. That’s why, aside from having 7-day customer support, we also provide resources such as training, manuals and how-to videos on our machines. We’re constantly working on material such as blogs, videos and webinars to help customers get started and succeed in the embroidery business.

Every Ricoma embroidery machine includes free comprehensive training as part of our all-inclusive package. We’ll ensure you know what you’re doing before your training session is over. However, if you still want additional resources to keep handy, we’ll also provide you with how-to videos, manuals, and plenty of other educational materials to help you get started.

Our machines are backed by one of the industry’s best warranties. Our 5-year warranty is provided at no additional cost and effective immediately following the purchase of your Ricoma embroidery machine.
