Company History

RI-CO started life as a plastics point of sale supplier, founded by Richard Barwell back in the 1970s - Richard was an inventor and developed amazing tools for his plastic inventions.

Richard sold the business in 2009 along with all his products to Allthread Plastics who now work alongside RI-CO to provide all mouldings and toolings for the products sold.

The company was revisited in recent years changing the business model to match the world of growing online sales, with a focus on selling small quantities of plastic components at great value prices to the general market, as well as undertaking bespoke and specialist plastic projects from the research & development sector.

The brand is now managed by Rosey Shrosbree who has come to the business from a retail buying and purchasing background. With a history of buying jewellery for high street brands, and later working with mobility products purchasing stock from the far east, she applies her analytical knowledge to the maintenance of stock levels keeping us fully in stock and moving the brand forward with fresh ideas.
