Gargantuan Growth
Hirsch Solutions Highlights Hit Promotional Products’ $800M Growth with Tajima Technology
Hit Promotional Products has achieved remarkable business growth by modernizing its production with advanced embroidery technology from Tajima, supported by Hirsch Solutions. The company, now generating approximately $800 million in annual revenue, credits its transformation to strategic equipment upgrades and digital integration.Originally founded in the late 1970s with just a handful of embroidery heads, Hit Promotional Products steadily expanded into one of the industry’s largest decorators in the U.S. Over time, older machines became difficult to maintain, and parts scarcity hampered production. To overcome these challenges, the company invested in Tajima’s latest TMEZ machines, bringing modern performance, speed, and reliability to its floors.Central to the upgrade was Tajima’s AI‑driven i‑TM (Intelligent Thread Management) system, which automatically controls thread tension for smoother, more stable stitching. This feature reduced machine downtime and helped newer operators reach productivity levels faster. ■Equally transformative was the adoption of Tajima’s PulseID cloud‑based workflow platform. By linking design data directly to machines via simple barcode scanning, the company eliminated manual USB transfers and significantly increased operational efficiency. Daily output grew from roughly 30,000 pieces to about 50,000, and production reliability improved markedly.Hit Promotional Products’ success reflects the value of combining automated hardware with intelligent software. With Hirsch Solutions providing installation, training, and ongoing service, the company continues to pursue new markets and further scale its operations.

The Impact of Advanced Embroidery Equipment on C.C. Creations’ Success
C.C. Creations' Evolution with Tajima Technology: Founded in 1982 as a small screen-printing shop in Bryan, Texas, C.C. Creations has grown into one of the largest custom apparel manufacturers in the U.S. With over 600 employees and a new 210,000-square-foot facility, the company serves major brands like Nike and Lululemon, emphasizing high-quality standards.

These innovations allowed the company to handle various fabrics efficiently, improve precision with features like presser foot activation and auto-tensioning, and enhance overall workflow.
