ABOUT

1340 GEAR

1340 Gear is locally owned and operated in Waterloo, Iowa. 1340 Gear is part of The Powers Manufacturing Company and keeps the same high-quality standards that Powers has been providing in athletic uniforms since 1902. We care about our employees, the community, and our customers.1340 Gear is a diverse employer and promotes a diverse working environment.  We also give back to our community by participating in March of Dimes: Relay for Life, Adopt-a-Family campaigns, and other various charitable projects throughout the year.

With many years of experience in sublimation, we can create and execute projects with a wide variety of designs and styles. We utilize Mutoh printers with bulk ink systems and the highest-quality Monti Antonio press. We’ve changed to the latest evolution in ink technology supplied by Kiian, which includes more finely ground pigments that allow for less water and more pigment in the ink, making for colors that are very vivid and easier to work with. Printers, paper, and ink are stored in an environmentally controlled room to ensure consistent quality prints. Our team is ready to help implement your design ideas and needs. Every order is treated with high quality customer service, care, and standards.
