Ricoh Innovations acquires Eye-Fi cloud
In case you missed my earlier Facebook and Twitter posts – Ricoh Innovations Corporation (RIC, not Ricoh Imaging) has acquired Eye-Fi cloud. The Eye-Fi memory cards business was not part of the deal and will continue to exists under the Eye-Fi brand. Here is the email that was sent out earlier today:
We are pleased to announce that Ricoh Innovations Corporation (RIC) and Eye-Fi Inc have reached an agreement for the acquisition of Eyefi Cloud, and associated apps, by Ricoh. RIC is a member of the Ricoh Group which is a $19B dollar market leader in digital imaging. Ricoh is dedicated to providing imaginative products and services that improve people’s lives through products such as its Pentax DSLR, Theta 360 cameras and many others. This unique blending of technology and expertise creates new opportunities to enhance value for our customers.
The Eyefi Cloud team will immediately join Ricoh and is excited about bringing even more innovation to our customers around the world. We are dedicated to maintaining and increasing the quality, support and service that you have come to know from our team. One thing will remain the same, our passion for photography and protecting your valuable memories.
