LAS VEGAS, NV — September 24, 2026 — The RMX Network today announced that Thomas Printworks of Richardson, Texas, has earned the organization's highest distinction: the 2026 RMX Network Partner of the Year. The award recognizes an RMX Partner company whose commitment to community, craft, and industry advancement sets the standard for the entire network and this year, no one fits that description more perfectly than Bryan Thomas and his team.
Thomas Printworks is no ordinary print company. What began in 1956 as a modest blueprint shop in Dallas has grown, across three generations of the Thomas family, into a visual communications powerhouse spanning 25+ locations in nine markets across Texas, Arizona, Minnesota, and Florida. More than 600 employees. Clients that include Whataburger, D.R. Horton, Houston Methodist, Barrett-Jackson, and the Arizona Diamondbacks. A reputation built on six decades of relentless reinvention.
Bryan Thomas, President and CEO, has led the company through one of the most transformative chapters in its history, guiding TPW from its roots in reprographics through a full evolution into large-format color, branded environments, marketing fulfillment, direct mail, and beyond. The company's tagline, "Telling the story of your brand, any size, in any place," isn't marketing language. It's a promise they deliver on every single day.
“We are honored to receive this award. There is no higher compliment for a company than to be recognized by its peers.” — Bryan Thomas, President & CEO, Thomas Printworks
Bryan's involvement in the RMX Network runs deep. A longtime Partner of the RMX Board of Directors, he has invested his time, expertise, and voice into making the network stronger for everyone in it. In 2021, RMX recognized his extraordinary contributions to the industry with the prestigious Mike Duff Award, honoring professionals who embody the belief that commitment to one's industry creates real, lasting reward. Bryan didn't just win that award, he lives it.
For RMX Network, selecting the 2026 Partner of the Year was a clear choice. Thomas Printworks exemplifies what the community was built to celebrate: a company that shares knowledge generously, competes with integrity, and makes every partner around them better.
"Bryan and the Thomas Printworks team represent exactly what RMX is all about. They don't just show up, they show up for each other, for this industry, and for the next generation of print professionals. We couldn't be prouder to honor them with this award." — Mike Hobgood, RMX Network President
