Vanguard

A big welcome to Vanguard, joining us as a Platinum Annual Sponsor, and doing it for the first time. Starting at the top tier in year one tells you everything about how seriously Vanguard is showing up for RMX. For Partners who haven't worked with them yet: Vanguard builds industrial UV flatbed and hybrid printers that power a significant share of the wide-format and industrial output in our space. Real horsepower on the production floor. Find them, shake their hand, and talk shop. They came ready.

Grimco

Grimco is a cornerstone of the sign and graphics supply chain, and a Platinum Annual Sponsor of RMX. Their breadth on substrates, vinyl, equipment, and logistics gives our Partners an edge where it matters, speed to job and margin. Their commitment to the Network speaks for itself. If Grimco is in your supply chain (and it probably should be), this is the week to deepen that relationship.

TD SYNNEX

TD SYNNEX brings one of the most important connections we have into the broader technology and imaging channel. As a Gold Sponsor, they back the Network with more than dollars, they bring access to Partners, products, and programs that can unlock real opportunity for our Partners. Worth 15 minutes of your time while you're on site.

Canon

Canon is one of the most recognized names in production and wide-format print, and a Gold Sponsor committed to our Network. Their lineup drives some of the highest volume work our Partners run, and the depth of their field team shows up for us year after year. Canon is sending five people this year — a serious investment in being present and accessible to Partners. Go make it count.

Gold ★ First-Time Sponsor

Distribution Management

Welcome to Distribution Management, first-time Gold Sponsor and a meaningful addition to the lineup. For Partners who haven't worked with DM yet, they are a national distributor on the graphic materials side of our industry: substrates, specialty materials, equipment, and the logistics to make the hard stuff look easy. Four people on site this year, with Ted Gruener leading the delegation and Brent Keightley as your day-to-day point of contact. Pull them aside, give them a tour of what you do, and see where it fits. They came to build.

HP

HP's large-format portfolio — Latex, PageWide, DesignJet — is foundational equipment for many of our Partners, and HP's backing of RMX as a Gold Sponsor is a signal of how much they value this community. They are investing here because our Partners are the kind of operators who push the technology forward. Tom Giglio and Michael Moso are on site as peer leads for the Network and either one is the right first conversation. Make the introduction if you haven't already.

Attending from HP
Tom Giglio·North American Latex Business Lead
Michael Moso·North American Channel Manager
Gold ★ First-Time Sponsor

Roland

Welcome to Roland, first-time Gold Sponsor and long overdue. Roland DGA is a name every one of our Partners knows: printers, cutters, and finishing systems that touch an enormous range of work across signage, graphics, and custom production. Stepping up as a sponsor signals a bigger commitment to our Network, and we're glad to see it. Dave Edmonson is your main point of contact on site. Grab him, share how Roland gear is performing in your shop — they came here to hear it.

EFI

EFI's footprint across wide-format hardware, Fiery, and production workflow is hard to overstate. As a Gold Sponsor, EFI continues to put real weight behind RMX and the Partners driving the work forward. If you're running Fiery, a VUTEk, or evaluating workflow tools, this is the conversation to have.

CGS ORIS

A warm welcome to CGS ORIS, joining us as a first-time Gold Sponsor. For Partners not yet familiar: CGS ORIS sets the bar on color management and proofing software — the tools that make sure what leaves your press matches what the client approved. Color is trust, and CGS is how you earn it at scale. Here's the part that tells you how serious they are about this network: their CEO, David Palmieri, is here personally. That is not a typical first-year move, and it deserves to be recognized. If color accuracy is part of your value proposition (and it should be), start the conversation here.

National Azon

National Azon brings decades of expertise and is a leading North American distributor of hardware and software solutions for the reprographic, graphic arts, and sign-making industries, with a core focus on Canon and Contex products. With distribution points across the U.S. and Canada, they support large-format printing and scanning professionals with the tools and technology they need to stay competitive in a fast-moving market. Their Gold Sponsorship reflects a strong commitment to the RMX network and to helping Partners drive efficiency, innovation, and profitability in print-for-pay and graphics environments.
