What we do

Six things, one building

Uniforms cut to spec, stock you can buy today, merchandise and gifts we source and brand, the branding itself — and the work we do outside the invoice.

How it runs

Brief to delivery, with a sample in between

The size set is the step most suppliers skip. It costs a little and it is the reason a rollout fits.

  1. Brief

    Tell us the garment, the fabric, the quantities and the branding. Online or over a call.

  2. Quote

    Itemised pricing and a lead time, usually within a working day.

  3. Sample

    A size set made and approved before we cut the full run.

  4. Production

    Cut, stitched and branded in our Nairobi factory, with updates as it moves.

  5. Delivery

    Quality checked, packed by size, delivered to your site.

Branding

Seven ways to put your mark on it

Compare techniques

Which one is right depends on the garment, the quantity and how the mark has to survive. We will tell you if you have picked the wrong one.

Embroidery

Stitched thread. Premium and hard-wearing — the default for uniforms.

Screen printing

Spot-colour ink. Cheapest at volume, flat matte finish.

Digital printing

Full colour, photographic. No setup, so it wins on short runs.

Heat transfer

Cut vinyl pressed on. Crisp edges — names and numbers.

Laser engraving

Burned into the surface. Leather, wood and metal.

Embossing

Raised, colourless impression. Understated.

Doming

Resin dome over a printed label. Badges and name tags.

Why Hemco

Made here, and answerable for it

Local manufacturing

Cut and stitched in Nairobi. Supports local jobs, and it means you can walk the floor.

Customisation

Tailored sizes, precise fits and personalised designs — not catalogue-only.

Rapid prototyping

Fast turnaround on design iterations and samples before the full run.

Quality

Material selection matched to the job, so garments last rather than fade out in a season.

Timeliness

Reliable, on-time delivery against the date you gave us.

Effective communication

Clear updates through the process, and early warning when something slips.

Data protection

Your designs, artwork and brand concepts stay yours. No unauthorised disclosure.

Competitive pricing

Itemised quotes at volume pricing, so you can see what you are paying for.
