About Us
Welcome to Custom Embroidery—your trusted Irish partner for high-quality embroidered and printed workwear, promotional apparel, and branded merchandise.
Based in Kilkenny and proudly Irish-owned, we’ve been serving businesses across Ireland for close to 20 years.
Our journey
Our journey began in 2008, originally in retail selling equestrian products. As demand grew, we added embroidery and vinyl printing to supply uniforms and branded gear. This side of the business quickly took off, and in 2012, Custom Embroidery was officially established by directors Alan and Catherine Carroll.
Over the years, we’ve grown steadily—acquiring an existing embroidery business, upgrading our equipment, launching new lines of products, and eventually moving to a purpose-built facility in Templeorum, Piltown. With each move, we expanded our capabilities, adding new technologies like ceramic and UV printing to offer products such as personalised pens, notebooks, bottles, and more.

At Custom Embroidery, we take pride in our attention to detail and commitment to quality.
From work uniforms and promotional gear to event apparel and customised gifts, we make sure every item is finished to the highest standard. Whether embroidered or printed, your brand is showcased with precision and care.
What sets us apart? We’re easy to work with, focused on service, and genuinely care about getting your order right. Our in-house team works closely with each client to ensure your branding is consistent, professional, and impactful.
