Two of the biggest names in the commercial embroidery and t-shirt printing equipment world are joining forces.
Several decades ago, Mesa Supplies, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, and ColDesi, Inc of Tampa, Florida. divided the country between them selling embroidery machines as SWF West and SWF East. Both companies renamed and grew over the years adding direct-to-garment printers, white toner printers, rhinestone transfer machines, and expanding their eCommerce stores. All the while as friends and competitors.
"Joining forces with Mesa is a natural progression for ColDesi. That shared early experience gives us a great foundation to move forward together,” said Scott Colman, president of ColDesi, Inc. “And of course, we’re excited to better serve all of our customers out west and to be in Texas!”
ColDesi has expanded exponentially in recent years with the addition of Pantograms (2017), Belquette (2018) and most recently, BestBlanks.com (2020). Management indicates that each has added products, personnel, and industry knowledge that makes the result greater than the individual parts.
“We’re excited to bring Mesa in as part of the company. We’ll be able to add more of what our collective customers are looking for:
- More support and training personnel
- Eastern and Central time zone hours
- Another distribution point to serve our supplies customers
- Additional demonstration facilities
- Additional supply product options
And the best part is that not only do both Mesa and ColDesi customers get those additional benefits – they can do it dealing with the same Mesa personnel they’ve been buying from for years,” said Bryan Hall, GM of ColDesi, Inc.
The Management Team stresses that customers will be able to use the same phone numbers and email addresses to get in touch with Mesa staff.
