Who we are: Commercial Sewing has specialized in the marine and power sports markets with a focus on producing sewn products and hard goods for Original Equipment Manufacturers, Distributors, and Dealers.

Our mission is simple. We believe ourselves to be an extension of our customer engineering and manufacturing. We value consistent communication and strive to provide our clients innovative solutions at the highest value and performance. We are consistently growing and consider ourselves to be the dominant supplier of sewn products to the OEM Power Sport and Marine markets. This level of quality and responsibility is not to be taken for granted and we strive to be flexible and fair to the needs of our customers, employees and the communities we work in.

Our staff has decades of experience in the power sports and marine industries and a dedicated team of 20 engineers, project administrators, and global sourcing specialists that work out of an “innovation lab” to meet and exceed customer project requirements.
