Superior's history began over 70 years ago when Herbert Klapper, the founder of Superior Sewing Machine, recognized that industrial sewing machine dealers needed a dependable source for readily available spare parts. At the time, there were no generic alternatives to the genuine replacement parts. Dealers were at the mercy of genuine sewing machine manufacturers. Often, these manufacturers would have nothing to do with local dealers, choosing to service the rapidly expanding sewing factories directly.Herb Klapper, son of a local New York second hand sewing machine dealer, founded Superior to address the needs of the dealers. He quickly gained their trust by selling only to them, not to the sewing factories. Soon, many dealers began ordering from Superior and instructing Superior to ship their orders directly to their customers ("drop shipments").These drop shipments required a great deal of faith in Superior's commitment to protect dealers and the confidential information of the dealers. Superior has never wavered from its commitment to and protection of dealers. We have always worked closely with our valued customers, constantly expanding our product lines to meet their needs. It is through our collaboration with our customers that Superior has continued to meet the needs of a constantly evolving marketplace for over 70 years.In 2021, Merrow, an 8th-generation family-owned company based in Fall River, MA, with centuries-long expertise in sewing and textiles, has expanded its wholesale supply business by acquiring the assets and business operations of Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC. Through this acquisition, Merrow positions itself as the largest wholesale supplier of technical parts and supply items for the sewn products industry in the Western Hemisphere.
