Racing Toward a Dream
Screen printing
press manufacturer
and industry veteran
Riley Hopkins recently
had "Powered by
Ryonet" applied to his
race car.

Famous for his screen printing presses,
Riley Hopkins loves building machines,
and his true love is racing. He ﬁrst sat
behind the wheel of a race car at age 16
when he snuck his dad's Astin Martin out
for a whirl. He soon started racing openwheel cars and eventually found himself
being recruited by a Formula Atlantic
team. In 1984, he entered - and won
- his ﬁrst Formula Atlantic race at the

Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, Calif.
Fortunately, his racing-inspired philosophy behind the design and construction of his screen printing presses worked
in application. Riley Hopkins presses
changed the game for the thousands of
screen printers.
In 2005, Ryonet went from only
offering tabletop presses to selling Riley
Hopkins standalone manual presses on

a daily basis, rocketing the company to
more than 2,000% growth in one year.
Ryonet bought Riley Hopkins Screen
Printing Machines seven years after our
initial meeting.
Asking what Hopkins was going to
do next, he said he was getting back in
the driver's seat. This past Independence
Day weekend, he pulled the race transport into our press manufacturing plant,
unloaded the same car he had won the
championship with in 1984 and smiled
as we applied "Powered by Ryonet" to
the side of the car.
We took pictures of the black and
green car and matching presses sitting
together. It was compelling to see the
two things that deﬁned his life displayed
so intimately together: the press that
had helped so many people ﬁnd their
dreams, and the car he was ﬁnally able
to race again and live out his own dream.
