TOKYO -- Ricoh will reduce its global workforce by about 2,000 people as it scales down the office machine business and focuses on assisting businesses with digital transition, the Japanese company said Thursday.

The cuts, to take place through March, will affect the office equipment division, including the sales and maintenance teams.
