Wilcom's founders shared a vision for automating the embroidery industry in 1979, the year the company was founded. In 1980, Wilcom's first embroidery system was sold to Lion Bros for $120,000. In 1983, the Wilcom CED was introduced as the world's first desktop embroidery design system, pioneering PC-based embroidery digitizing. In 1985, Wilcom's patent stitch process was invented, which the company says revolutionized the industry.
