Personal Impact Story: Universal Dyeing & Printing, Inc.

Universal Dyeing & Printing is a minority-owned business located in Downtown Los Angeles’s Fashion District. Universal Dyeing & Printing, Inc., is a fabric printer company that specializes in digital and screen printing. They have been in business for more than 30 years, and is known for their production of high-quality fabrics that stand out.

LAEDC Business Assistance Team reached out to Universal Dyeing and Printing in 2022 to provide COVID assistance resources and support. At that time, the company had more than 20 employees and was very vigilant in keeping all of them employed. Through the efforts of the LAEDC and knowledge of grants available for his business, President and Founder Bryant Hwang was able to avert layoffs and keep his business running.

Recently, the business contacted LAEDC requesting assistance with their manufacturing operation as they are positioned for growth. LAEDC Regional Manager met with them, discussed their needs, and introduced some additional resources including California Manufacturing Technology Consulting (CMTC). Universal Dyeing continues to work with LAEDC in collaboration with CMTC, a long-time partner to assist them with their bottom line.

“Thank you for your help LAEDC. Bob Machuca helped me find a grant that helped us to avert layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

-Bryant Hwang, President/Founder
