LinkedIn →Who is Imran Raza?
Imran Raza is the founder and CEO of Panda Patches. He brings 13 years of hands-on experience in custom patch manufacturing and textile production, with working knowledge across embroidered patches, PVC molding, woven jacquard, chenille construction, leather, and the broader textile supply chain. He is directly involved in production standards, quality control, and the customer approval workflow — a founder-led structure that is unusual in an industry where many suppliers operate as multi-tier reseller networks with no direct founder involvement in production.
The company he built
Panda Patches is the trade name of MC Patches LLC, a U.S.-registered company formed in December 2023, with a mailing address in Austin, Texas. Under Imran’s leadership the company has delivered over 1,000,000 custom patches to small businesses, sports teams, first responders, military units, streetwear brands, and Fortune 500 corporations. Patches are produced at the company’s own facility in Pakistan, operated by Panda Apparel & Technology; no products are manufactured in the United States. Owning production end-to-end is what lets Panda Patches publish wholesale-level pricing, hold a low 5-piece minimum, and keep design, production, and quality control under one operations team.
