Company story

From tradition to continuity

Over the years, Riko has developed into a vertically integrated group of companies providing technical and technology-based products and services for different stages of production in numerous industries and business sectors.

Our roots stretch back to the 19th century, when a sports and medical equipment plant was established under the name of JOR in the small Slovenian town of Ribnica, the cradle of the country's entrepreneurship. RIKO - the Slovene acronym for “the Ribnica Metal

Working Factory” - was built on these original foundations. Up until 1990, the company was developing manufacturing technology for agricultural equipment, including interchangeable towed agricultural machines, aircraft, municipal and waste management facilities as well as extremely sophisticated high-tech flexible systems.

In the 1990s, Riko shifted its focus from manufacturing to engineering.

With our range of products and services and as representatives of Europe's most renowned

manufacturers we have become a long-term partner for many companies and sectors, including automotive manufacturers in the former Soviet Union in the process of modernising their technological processes. Thanks to our experience and knowhow we have extended our area of operations to numerous markets that have recognized the need for intelligent, integral solutions, as well as the need to introduce efficient, state-of-the-art, eco-friendly technologies.
