Steel Stitching

What Steel Stitching does

Steel Stitching is a privately held promotional products and corporate apparel company founded in 2022 and headquartered in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, with a secondary office in Sarasota, Florida. The company provides branded merchandise decoration services, principally embroidery, screen printing, and laser engraving, to B2B clients across Canada and the United States. It claims a customer base of over 100 accounts spanning enterprise, franchise, and small-business segments.

Beyond physical decoration, the company has extended into adjacent brand and digital services. These include logo digitization (converting client artwork into production-ready embroidery files), web development, and paid advertising management on Google and Meta platforms. The combination positions Steel Stitching as a multi-service branding partner rather than a single-channel apparel decorator.

The business operates on a quote-based pricing model with a 10-unit minimum order, indicating low-volume, project-based revenue rather than enterprise-wide contracts. The company is privately held with 1-10 employees and does not disclose revenue or funding. Its named customer roster includes Ford, GAF, McMaster University, ABC Supply, F45, Brock Ford, D'Angelo and Sons, EnzoKhan, Herman's Supply, and Good Books, spanning automotive, construction, fitness, education, roofing, and retail industries.
