The key to outstanding embroidery is the people who do it. At Northwest we have the best production team in the Pacific Northwest. This is why our product turns out so beautiful each and every time.

Experience Counts

Our team members have a minimum of five years experience. We call these team members rookies. We have several players on our team with over 25 year’s experience. It’s this experience that makes northwest the number one decorated apparel company in the Northwest. We have been in business for over 37 years so we must be doing something right.DSC03485

Our plant manager Ruth has almost 20 years experience and can do every task in the factory. She sets the example of excellence for her fellow employees. We have Zenny with over 20 years experience. I could go on and on and brag about our team members I am so proud of them. Our general manager Tracy is a real crackerjack. She can do everything from balancing our books, pulling inventory and running a embroidery machine. We are so lucky to have her.

We discussed material used in the embroidery process now it’s time to brag about our equipment. We use Tajima embroidery machines. Tajima is the number one manufacturer of embroidery machines in the world. This is why we choose and have used Tajima for 37 years.

Our printing department uses the Kornit digital to garment printers. Kornit is the number on manufacturer of DTG machines. The nice thing about Kornit is that they are patent protected. Only Kornit can deliver the quality we demand for our customers.

In summary it’s our employees who make Northwest number one.
