Sewing for generations
Empisal started small with a desire to stand tall among the giants who dominated the sewing machine market. Since 1956, the Empisal success story has provided top-quality sewing machines to let people’s clothes-making creativity fly free!
Since 1956, Empisal has catered to a diverse South African market and earned our reputation as a trusted brand. We started with the goal of producing a local sewing machine to compete against the best the world exported to us.
Today we offer reliable sewing machines, overlockers, steam presses and other products to homemakers, hobbyists and small business owners who turn their passion and skill into an income. So whatever stitch you need, we have an Empisal machine for you!
