About TEX Inc.
About TEX Inc.
Founded in 1996 by Sal and Jeanine Lucchese, TEX Inc. (The Embroidery eXperts, Inc.) has spent more than 30 years helping embroidery businesses produce better results through innovative products, professional digitizing, and industry-leading education.
What began as a small family business in Mesa, Arizona has grown into a trusted name serving thousands of embroidery shops, apparel decorators, home-based businesses, schools, promotional product companies, and commercial embroidery operations throughout the United States and around the world.
Built by Embroiderers, for Embroiderers
Founder Sal Lucchese has dedicated his career to the embroidery industry, with experience spanning:
- Commercial embroidery
- Machine sales and service
- Technical training
- Professional digitizing
- Vector artwork
- Product development
- Shop consulting
- Production workflow optimization
After working directly with embroidery businesses for decades, Sal saw the same challenges repeated every day—slow production, inconsistent placement, difficult hooping, and the need for affordable, high-quality digitizing. TEX Inc. was created to solve those problems with practical solutions that help embroidery businesses save time, improve quality, and increase profitability.
