Union Special Corporation, established in 1881, is the oldest, largest, and last industrial sewing machine company in the United States to produce its machines from casting to finished product under one roof. The company specializes in bag closing, bag making, carpet, and geotextile machines, and has built its reputation on delivering Finest Quality sewing machines and parts. Union Special has maintained a long-standing commitment to genuine parts support for its extensive range of brand machines, ensuring reliability, longevity, and precise fit. The organization emphasizes its in-house capabilities, including CNC equipment such as machining centers, turning centers, and grinding centers, as well as precision investment casting, powder paint application, and in-house assembly. These capabilities enable Union Special to deliver finished machines and parts with high quality, performance, and durability. Over the decades, Union Special expanded its manufacturing footprint, relocating all Chicago operations to the Huntley plant and progressively enlarging the facility. The Huntley site grew from 44,000 square feet in the mid-20th century to more than 418,000 square feet by the late 1980s, reflecting a sustained investment in capacity to meet rising demand. The company has also invested in modern production and engineering practices, including the adoption of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) in 1988 and the Employee Involvement Program initiated in the same era, highlighting a culture of continuous improvement and workforce engagement. Union Special’s product family targets non-apparel industries, with strong emphasis on bag making, bag closing, carpet overedging, and geosynthetics. A comprehensive line of sewing machine parts is manufactured and distributed worldwide, underscoring Union Special’s global reach. The firm maintains a substantial sales and technical service team aimed at delivering robust customer support. Historical milestones include the acquisition of the Fencil Plant in Huntley, Illinois, in 1948 to bolster gasket production, and multiple facility expansions through the 1950s–1980s to accommodate growing demand and technological advancement. The company’s headquarters and primary offices are based in Huntley, Illinois, a location chosen for accessibility to Chicago and major transport corridors. Union Special operates today as a historic American manufacturer with a sustained focus on quality, precision, and service, supported by a skilled workforce and a long-standing tradition of innovation in sewing equipment.
