ROQ.US is the newest Ryonet endeavor. Why ROQ.US? Ultimately, it's an answer to a big question: "How can we take this ROQ equipment that really changes lives...and give more resources to printers using the equipment?"So what's up with Ryonet? Here's the word, straight from Ryan himself:Ryonet isn't selling out.Ryonet doesn't own ROQ (ROQ is a 37+ year old manufacturer based in Portugal).But ROQ.US is a new endeavor to take Ryonet's existing knowledge about ROQ and expand it.Ryan was super candid with us about the plan: "Ryonet and screenprinting.com are moving off to the side, like sister companies. We want to grow the ROQ business. We had this whole side of our [ROQ distribution] business: installation, financing, managing all of the ROQ process. So our team joined ROQ.US."Ryan explained why investing in ROQ is so crucial for the US market, framing it in terms of a common objection that US screen print shops have: "This other company has been around for 35 years, so I know their screen printing presses are great...and you guys have only been doing this for 8 years!" After all, their first US-based ROQ was only installed in 2012 at Twin City Tees (and their second was in Family Industries in Los Angeles).Read the full article: https://www.printavo.com/blog/whats-up-with-ryonet-and-roq-us

2020 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the screen printing industry. Ryonet's mission isn't to grow as big as they can as fast as they can. Instead, they're going to get better...then bigger.After a seismic shift away from industrial-scale screen printing in the US during the 1990s, Ryonet has proven pivotal to growing the "entrepreneurial" screen printing market in the US. Whereas the custom printing process is industrialized abroad, with shops owning hundreds of large oval screen printing presses and using panels to print instead of full garments, the US market is unique on the world stage."So for ROQ to come to the US – it's totally different. It requires 1-on-1 relationships with the shops," Ryan remarked. The entire goal of Ryonet's ongoing investment is surprisingly simple: Ryonet wants to be more than your first distributor.This process has been difficult. Ryonet can't pivot on a moment's notice. It's taken months of iteration, pitching, development, meetings, and honest conversations to discover what should happen next. But it's obvious from Ryan's candid conversation that he's determined to do the right thing for screen printers: make Ryonet a hub not just for equipment, but for the entire ROQ community.Read more (and see a picture of that massive shop with 100+ ROQ OVAL screen printing presses): https://www.printavo.com/blog/whats-up-with-ryonet-and-roq-us
