Where have we been?

Time flies when you're having fun. The last few months have been busy to say the least. Preparing for shows, developing new products, meeting new people, and learning more about the way we do business. After SHOT this year we regrouped, circled wagons, and sought out the focus we kept so much of last year, all while seeing other opportunities on the horizon. So what's new?

After about 7 years, we are finally putting our 25 year old embroidery machine to bed for good. She ran hard(ly) and seldom complained (except when she was running.) It was time for an upgrade, and along comes the newest Tajima to the family - A 6 head darling with flames and a 454...

Life in 3D. We recently acquired some new technology to help promote our design services - In a few months we should be producing more accurate 3d model representations prior to hitting the cutting room floor. The goal is to save some 2d design work that is costly and slow, thus improving our performance.

Vacuum formed composites. After years of requests, I just couldn't hold back any longer. We built our first prototype and are already folding 3 new designs into our products. Good work indeed! You should be able to see those soon on the site!

The fun won't stop there. We seem to be turning over a lot of rocks lately, and assuming we don't fall into the political crossfire right now, 2010 looks to be a great year!
