The RICCAR brand has a rich history, dating back to the 1970s when affordable ready-made garments were rare, making home sewing a necessity for many families. At that time, RICCAR emerged as a dominant player in the home sewing market, with its brand becoming synonymous with quality sewing machines in Japan.

In 2022, NOEXCUSE acquired the RICCAR trademark from Yamano Holdings and has since pledged to continue developing new RICCAR sewing machines. The launch of the first needle punch machine is slated for 2024, with plans for a new model of household sewing machine by May 2025.
