History, origin and sales

The Tajima embroidery machine company rose to popularity in the United States between the very late 1980s and the very early 1990s. Along with the Barudan embroidery machine, Tajima was one of the top 2 embroidery machines nationwide in the USA. Both Barudan and Tajima remain to be the two most popular models in the United States for production embroidery usage.

Tajima continues to lead sales in most of the west and south of the USA whereas Barudan leads sales in the north and east. Most of the rest of the United States is evenly divided among the two major embroidery machines (Tajima and Barudan). Tajimas are more commonly seen around Mexico and most of Central America whereas Barudan tends to lead sales in countries such as Colombia, Peru, Venezuela. Countries such as Argentina, Canada, Brazil, and Chile are divided among both Tajima and Barudan for popularity rights.

Tajimas machines original ran off paper punch cards from the 1970s till the 1980s when they were replaced by paper tape. Paper tape was soon replaced by floppy drives. Most all Tajima machines today are now run off USB drives.
