Screen Printing Supplier Ryonet Embraces the Green Movement and Grows in a Bad Economy Because of it


Vancouver, WA based screen printing supply company Ryonet and www.Silkscreeningsupplies.com have begun to offer a new line of environmentally friendly inks and chemicals. The new "EnviroLine" by Ryonet features water based screen printing inks, versus the more traditional petroleum based inks, and environmentally friendly biodegradable chemicals needed for the screen printing process.

Ryan Moor started the Ryonet Corporation in November of 2004, after designing and manufacturing a small screen printing press it placed for sale on E-Bay. The press sold quickly and the people who were buying these homemade print presses started asking about the availability of ink and other supplies. The next couple of months saw the hiring of two more employees, signing on distributors and the need to acquire legitimate manufacturing space.

In February of 2005, the company began the strategic process of hiring people with extensive backgrounds in both screen printing application and sales, looking to strengthen their position in the industry. Soon there after, Ryonet made a major transition in its business model, making the transition from buying product from distributors to buying directly from the manufacturer. This move was vital for the growth and expansion of the company. With a dedication to customer service and a solid business plan, on April 1st 2005, the company moved in to a new facility, an 8300 square foot building in Vancouver, WA. The move was a necessity to keep up with growth in sales and manufacturing.

Today, the Ryonet Corporation has grown from one employee to 60 employees, from working out of a garage to 2 locations spanning over 17,000 square feet and both the west and east coast. Ryonet and silkscreeningsupplies.com represent 51 vendors and is continually working to be a constant innovator in the industry, reaching out to new domestic markets, making new products available, and even opening an international division to make their services available to the European and Asian markets.

With smart business strategy, on going training programs made available to it's customers, dedicated customer service, a loyal work force and a supportive community, the Ryonet Corporation is poised to become the key distributor and sales company of the screen printing industry.
