Patch Panel announces move to complete in house production of customized Cordura patches, with enhanced offerings, and lead times.
In 2012, Patch Panel (WMI Sports Ltd.) began offering IR Name Tapes as an industry first. In time, this grew to call signs, name plates, unit patches, and now, their exclusive Identification Panels. Throughout this time, we went places we had never expected, including military unit, division, and regimental sized orders, as well as the opportunity to support many police units with roadside safety marking patches, as well as identification units.
Starting as a small company, we naturally did not have the resources to produce items entirely in house, and were forced to outsource parts of our production to save costs. This meant that the lead times just kept growing to weeks, and even months.
At the beginning of 2016, Patch Panel initiated the steps to move all production to our facility in Peterborough Ontario, where production quality could be controlled to exacting standards, and produced expediently by their Canadian Forces Veteran production team.
Today, we are happy to announce that long lead times are a thing of the past. Dropping from 10 weeks, to 10 days, and even an option to expedite to 2 business days. We are now able to provide the patches you need, in short order. All of these changes help us support our goals to generate more domestic manufacturing, as well as employ more veterans in our workforce.
