Ami Benson
Sales Representative
Ami started out in the apparel decorating industry with a digitizing software company in 1992. During her early years, she worked with some of the industry's most influential pioneers and gained invaluable product knowledge. When Ami joined MESA's sales team in 1998, she was excited to join a company that was gaining so much of the embroidery machine sales market.

She does this by offering not only information about MESA's products and the apparel decorating industry in general, but also by responding to their specific needs. Ami may help find sources for blank goods, offer guidance regarding pricing of products and services, or offer advice on how to evaluate the local competition and overcome any obstacles. After the sale, Ami maintains a relationship with her customers and is always available for advice.
