Since 2012, the Chamber has honored local businesses that exemplify its motto: Moving Business Forward. This award celebrates Washington-based manufacturers who lead with innovation, solve tough industry challenges, and invest meaningfully in their communities. We’re honored to be part of that story.
Innovation That Powers Print Shops
From handcrafted Riley Hopkins presses to next-gen reclaim systems and LED exposure units, Ryonet Manufacturing has never stopped innovating. Every piece of equipment is built with one goal in mind: to help screen printers succeed. This recognition highlights not just what we build, but how we build, with purpose, precision, and pride.

Made in Washington. Built to Last.
We’re proud to manufacture in Vancouver, Washington. Our production team welds, assembles, and tests every press and piece of equipment with unmatched attention to detail. But it’s more than metal and machines. It’s the people behind the products that make them truly world-class.

Manufacturing excellence goes beyond tools and technology. It starts with people. At Ryonet, we’re intentional about building an inclusive, empowering workplace. We strive to create opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds and abilities, including through community partnerships that support meaningful employment and connection.
“It means a lot to Ryonet to be nominated by our peers, because we really care about our local community. We're always finding ways to give back, whether it’s through Clark County Food Bank events, donating shirts to the Turkey Trot, or supporting other local charities. Being part of this community means showing up for it.” — Chris, Ryonet Manufacturing Team
Our ongoing work with organizations that champion inclusive hiring has helped shape a team culture rooted in mutual respect, growth, and belonging. It’s not just the right thing to do. It’s how we continue to innovate from the inside out.
