History
In 1969, John Willson founded Branded Emblem designing and producing embroidered emblems. Within 7 years, John had 50 employees & a strong national reputation throughout the country for producing a very high quality product for accounts like Boy Scouts of America, Rotary International, & many major municipal fire & police departments. These customers are still with us today.
In the 1980’s, high-speed multi-head embroidery equipment began to be used to direct embroider apparel rather than for emblems. Branded Emblem recognized the opportunity to be one of the first full-service direct embroiderers in Kansas City. As a result of this rapid shift in focus, Branded Emblem became the largest direct embroiderer in the state of Kansas, servicing a host of national brand name apparel manufacturers, uniform companies, & ASI companies.
