Apparel 2000 offers an experienced digitizing service for emblems, corporate logos and fine
monogramming. Our unmatched customer service and attention to detail ensure your custom
embroidery needs will be satisfied. Embroidery digitizing is an artform that cannot be learned
overnight. Thus Apparel 2000's years of experience (see below) and made in U.S.A. quality separate us
from the overseas discount digitizers. We are a true bricks and mortar embroidery company located in Massachusetts, U.S.A.

Our History
Our original company, Roman Manufacturing Corp., was started in 1936 by Larry & Olga
Mazzola creating monogramming for fine linens, handkerchiefs, towels, fur coat linings and more.
During the early years the company name was changed to The Roman Art Embroidery Corp. They developed
many clients in the sporting goods manufacturing industry and became a major source of embroidered logos
for the uniforms of the professional sports teams.
In the very early 50's the company developed inroads into the "computerized" embroidery industry.
Originally jacquard driven Gross embroidery machines and their first punching machine "#3". #1 and #2
were being run by the Gross Company. During those years the company supplied many of the regional manufacturers
of golf shirts and sportswear.
In the mid 50's the company purchased the only schiffli embroidery looms in New England.
Three 10-yard looms. The company created new patterns on pantograph punching machines
creating jacquards for the looms. During the mid 60's the additional looms and punching centers were
making lace, fashion fabrics, sports emblems, police and fire department emblems and much more.
In the early 70's one of our best clients in the headwear industry was closing its doors.
It was decided that the company should start manufacturing baseball caps. Roman Pro was created. Our cap
embroidery was revered by Pro sports teams and high profile clients like Auto Body Express, Spike Lee's 40 Acres
& a Mule Company, as well as police and FBI clients throughout the USA.
In the late 90's we decided to further develop the custom digitizing and embroidery division. Apparel 2000 LLC
was created. We currently have the most sophisticated embroidery digitizing equipment and offer master
embroidery techniques from our varied history.
Consider the rest, use the best.
