JUNIOR HAGEN, Ltd. was incorporated in 1975. It first traded on a small scale in exporting U.K. made children's wear, hence the name "Junior."
In 1977 the company started trading in Trimmings for the fashion industry, which is the background of the company's managing director, Eric Hagen. He grew up in the embroidery industry in Austria and his father, relatives, neighbours and friends were all producers of Broderie Anglaise and Trimmings.
Junior Hagen continued to create new ideas in the embroidery and lace industry, and also started to specialise in designing and producing hand-made Sequin and Beading Embroidery in Motifs and Trimmings by the metre, Braids and Ribbons, etc. most suitable for evening and bridal wear.
The company is now well-known in the trade worldwide, and through its agents/distributors sells in particular throughout Europe, the Middle East, USA, Australia, South Africa, and of course, the United Kingdom.
Most products are exclusive and the company is now often called upon to create trimmings for the fashion industry. New collections are designed twice a year and exhibited at the leading trade fairs.
As many products are considered for the middle to upper market, the company considers it important that prices are reasonable, but above all, the company has an excellent reputation for service, speed of delivery and quality of goods. Customer service, reliability and hard work are all reasons that Junior Hagen has won recognition. The company has a very effective business strategy, strict credit control and financial success.
