Case Study: MT Needles Embroidery achieves 200% growth with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

MT Needles Embroidery - Customer Case Study

MT Needles Embroidery, owned by Tracey and Michael Benson in El Paso, Texas, started as a garage-based business in 2013 and quickly faced the challenge of meeting growing demand with limited equipment and working capital. The company wanted to expand beyond basic embroidery to serve small businesses and individuals needing small runs of decorated apparel and other items.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty helped MT Needles Embroidery by providing mentoring on accounting systems and supporting the owners as they explored growth options and attended a garment-decoration trade show. With SCORE’s guidance, they conserved capital, added equipment and services, and moved into a commercial storefront in 2015; the business then achieved more than 200% growth in that year.
