Grimco and ROQ.US Enter an Agreement to Expand and Elevate the Decorated Apparel Industry Across the U.S.
Print and sign industry supplier Grimco, and ROQ.US, supplier of cutting-edge automatic digital and screen printing equipment, unite to make ROQ machines widely available across the United States.
Established in 1875, Grimco has provided quality sign supply products and excellent service to the sign and graphics community. Now, partnered with ROQ.US, the U.S.-based arm of ROQ International, Grimco will introduce a never-before-seen opportunity for the printing community – national centralized distribution of ROQ equipment.
The ROQ + Grimco joint effort will expand and strengthen the quickly-growing decorated apparel field with direct and local access to printing automation built to catapult production and dramatically cut the costly overhead ordinarily needed to compete at the top levels of the printing business.
“Our team at Grimco is extremely excited to partner with ROQ.US on a national level. ROQ has built a great brand based on quality and innovative engineering with the addition of excellent service and support. We look forward to meeting the needs of the garment decoration industry together,” said Peter Weinberg, Grimco’s senior director – Garment/Screen Division, in a press release.
ROQ.US President Ross Hunter agrees: “Grimco’s consistency as a trusted brand in the market for nearly 150 years speaks for itself – certainly more than I could ever say. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with such a respected reputation and commitment to long term success for the industry – something that is paramount to the mission of ROQ in North America and abroad.”
Hunter continued, “One of the biggest obstacles we’ve had to navigate since launching ROQ.US at the start of 2020 was having limited accessibility for current and potential partners to learn about what ROQ offers in person. Through our new alliance with Grimco, we’re grateful to officially have that obstacle behind us, so you can quickly become familiar with the game-changing printing automation that gets and keeps you at the top of the game, at any of their locations across the country.”
Hunter noted in an email that Grimco will sell all ROQ.US-branded equipment and accessories. “ROQ.US will still perform all install, training, and after-sale service as well as continue to honor our best in class three-year squeegee to squeegee warranty.”
Decorators can reach out to their Grimco rep or closest Grimco location for further information, or visit roq.us or call 877-674-8669.
