Emblem and patch manufacturer, World Emblem, has signed a long-term lease for a new factory located in Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic.
“After a thorough search, we selected the Dominican Republic for its business-friendly environment, skilled workforce, and proximity to our clients in the United States,” said Randy Carr, CEO of World Emblem. “As we look to further expand the range of products and services we provide to new and existing customers, this factory will enable us to strengthen our supply chain, enhance efficiency, and continue to grow the company.”
Construction of the approximately 100,000sqft plant is scheduled to begin in June and is expected to be completed in early 2026. Around 100 employees will be hired to work at the facility to begin with, with up to 500 jobs created in total.
“We are delighted to welcome World Emblem to the Dominican Republic, which will provide a stable, supportive business environment for the world’s leading provider of emblems and patches,” said Victor (Ito) Bisonó, minister of industry and commerce of the Dominican Republic. “With our skilled and growing workforce, strong partnership with the US, and proximity to World Emblem’s customers, our country is the ideal place for the company to continue to grow its business.”
World Emblem utilises the latest equipment and technology to manufacture customised emblems and multi-textured products for clients throughout North America. The company has additional plants in Georgia, Texas, California, Mexico, and Canada, offering clients faster production and delivery times.
