How Our New Space is Shaping the Future of Midwest Products

At Midwest Products, growth isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity. Our commitment to innovation and providing top-notch products for our customers has always driven us to think ahead. Recently, this approach led us to secure an incredible new space, shaping the next chapter of our journey in ways we never imagined.

A Twist of Fate: From Breaking Ground to Moving In

In our newsletters, we’ve shared exciting updates about our expansion plans. Initially, we purchased land and began preparations to construct a brand-new warehouse. But just as we were ready to break ground, an unexpected opportunity knocked on our door— right across the street!

The building we had long hoped would become available went on the market, and we knew this was the moment we had been waiting for. Seizing the chance to expand our footprint without new construction delays, we pivoted our plans and purchased the building. Since then, the Midwest Products team has been hard at work renovating and modernizing the space to align with our operational needs and vision for the future.

A Move with Minimal Disruption

The big day is almost here! In early November, we began transitioning into our new facility, and over the next few weeks, we’ll complete the move while ensuring operations continue without interruption. Some team members will remain in the original building, while others have already moved across the street to the new location. This strategic split allows our departments to continue collaborating seamlessly, ensuring we maintain the high level of service our customers rely on.

Why We Bought Instead of Built

So why did we decide to buy and not build? The answer is simple: urgency. As a growing company, we needed more space—immediately. Building from the ground up, while exciting, would have meant months of waiting and dealing with potential delays. Purchasing the existing building allowed us to fast-track our expansion plans and work on what matters most: creating innovative new products for our valued customers.

What This Means for You

With the addition of this second building, we’re setting the stage for exciting advancements. The extra space will enable us to:

  • Increase production capacity to meet growing demand.
  • Innovate more efficiently, bringing new ideas to life faster.
  • Enhance customer service with streamlined operations.

This expansion reaffirms our commitment to exceeding expectations and ensuring that our customers continue to enjoy the same “scary fast” shipping times and exceptional quality they’ve come to rely on.

Making It Our Own

As renovations continue, we’re blending functionality with our signature Midwest Products style. The goal is to create a space that supports our operational needs and reflects who we are as a company—dedicated, forward-thinking, and deeply connected to our community.

Our move marks a significant milestone, and we’re thrilled to have you with us as we take this next big step. Your support has been instrumental in our growth, and we can’t wait to show you what the future holds.

Stay tuned for updates as we settle into our new space. Together, we’re shaping the future of Midwest Products—one innovation at a time.

Why Is Digitizing So Important?

Digitizing for embroidery is an essential process because it converts artwork into a digital file that an embroidery machine can understand and execute. This process is crucial for several reasons:

 

  1. Customization: Digitizing allows for customization of designs to fit various fabric types and sizes. Different fabrics require different stitch techniques to avoid issues like puckering or distortion, and digitizing accommodates these variations.
  2. Efficiency: A properly digitized file optimizes the embroidery machine’s performance, reducing thread breaks, minimizing machine downtime, and speeding up production times. This efficiency is critical for commercial embroidery operations where time and quality are paramount.
  3. Consistency: Digitized designs ensure consistency across multiple embroidery runs. This consistency is crucial for branding and product quality, especially when producing large quantities of embroidered items.

 

In summary, digitizing for embroidery is vital for transforming artistic designs into precise, efficient, and high-quality embroidered products. It ensures that the final output is consistent, scalable, and visually appealing while optimizing the embroidery process for both custom and large-scale production.

A New Opportunity

We know you’ve been eagerly awaiting an update on our new building, and we are happy to report the wait is over!

Just as we were gearing up to break ground, fate intervened in the form of a nearby opportunity we couldn’t resist. The building across the street from our current location went up for sale. After some deliberation (and a bit of good fortune), we’re thrilled to announce that we have secured it!

So why did we decide to buy and not build? Quite simply, we required more space as soon as possible. Our desire to grow and expand now, while avoiding the time and unexpected delays that come with building, made this the perfect opportunity. With this new space we will have the room to create and produce NEW and innovate products for YOU, our valued customers!

Midwest Products, Inc. will now consist of two buildings right across the street from one another. We are currently busy with renovations, making the newly acquired building uniquely ours, blending our style with the functionality needed to meet our business and manufacturing demands. Barring any unforeseen surprises, we’re aiming for an August completion. Stay tuned for more updates!
