Universal Promotions, the North American leader in manufacturing and distributing promotional products and apparel, continues its expansion, announcing the acquisition of Chicago-based Classic Embroidery Inc.
“The acquisition of Classic Embroidery is a major win for Universal Promotions,” says Frederic Mimeault, President and CEO of Universal Promotions. “This acquisition is part of our long-term plan for scalable and sustainable growth, adding to our already impressive and unique decorating expertise. Anna Cison has built an incredibly talented team of skilled artists that will fit right in with the special group we have here at Universal Promotions. Following our recent acquisition of Art-Flo in October, it was obvious that Classic Embroidery was the next step in our growth and development strategy.”
“We are very excited to become a part of the Universal Promotions’ family,” says Anna Cison, former CEO of Classic Embroidery. “We expect this new chapter for Classic Embroidery to be a fruitful one. Universal Promotions’ vast experience will unquestionably raise us to new heights, allowing us to grow and provide an even more exceptional service to our customers.”
Classic Embroidery Inc. has been providing corporations, sports leagues, and schools with customized embroidery since 2003. Fast and efficient service, without sacrificing quality at competitive pricing, has been a source of pride since their beginnings.
