Central States Emblems was started by Tom and Pat Mills approximately twelve years ago in the basement of their home in Bonner Springs, Kansas. Tom and Pat moved the business, in 1992, to a 2,600 sq.ft. The company has grown to 21 employees and now exceeds one million in sales. The company currently makes cloth embroidered emblems for several national rental uniform companies. The expansion will allow the company to expand into direct embroidery of caps, shirts, jackets and other clothing apparel.
