When Roland Dumont started Corporate Image Apparel in 1980, it was his firm belief that technology and computers would revolutionize the industry. Embroidery was expensive at that time, and though it would still be a while before the cost of computers moderated, he was right. In time, technology has not only made lead times significantly less, it has enabled us to turn out higher quality products.

From the first "punch-card" computer embroidery machine CIA used in 1980 to the state-of-the-art machines we use now, we have always maintained Roland's original goal: to use the best available to produce the best available.

Our equipment enables us to reproduce designs efficiently while maintaining the integrity of the craftsmanship. In addition to traditional sportswear, we have experience embroidering many other materials including leather, straw hats, heavyweight canvas and nylon bags.

We currently use a variety of embroidery equipment from manufacturers such as Barudan, Tajima and Happy. For an end-to-end solution, we also have a bar coding machine and a folding and bagging machine, ensuring your product is shipped ready for the retail outlet.

We have recently added a laser cutting machine, technology we employ in our innovative MLD products.
