WE ARE SINCE 1969
RICO, an internationally recognised brand, was created and developed by the company Tomรกs Castro Silva, Lda. For over 40 years RICO have focused on the development and manufacture of sheet metal and fabrication machinery.
PRECISION IDEAS
At RICO we have an experienced technical team focusing upon the latest technological developments, placing RICO equipment to the front of technical innovations, ie CNC controls interfaced 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,

PRECISION IDEAS
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.
REFERENCE CUSTOMERS
Over the years RICO has been developing manufacturing methods which ensure the best quality of its final product.
The quality guarantees are the upshot of over 40 years research, experience and a 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 materials used are adequately sized to ensure the machines peak performance through cutting or bending operations.
MANUFACTURE PROCESS
Its machining is carried out by CNC machines which ensures all the perpendicularities, 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 assurances of a speedy, effective service.
PRECISION IDEAS
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.
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.
