Commercial Sewing was founded in 1967, by Sam Mazzarelli, as a small auto-trim sewing shop.

Its reputation for making strong, quality, reasonably priced custom fit covers - spread quickly. In the seventies, dealer sales increased so rapidly that Commercial Sewing began producing snowmobile covers year round.
