“With a clear focus on the future, we are able to draw
on our long proud history for inspiration. But the real strength
of our company lies in the quality of our employees.
From studio to manufacturing, they are passionate about the
products we produce and take great pride in their creation.”
Carl Vizzi, Owner and President
SINCE 1895
For over a century, York Wallcoverings has been manufacturing
wallpaper from the same factory location in the historic and
picturesque Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania. Today,
York is the oldest and largest wallcovering manufacturer in
the United States, creating residential wallpaper, commercial
wallcoverings and wall decals that can be found worldwide.
OUR ARCHIVES
Drawing from our past, the York Archives provides access
to thousands and thousands of document designs dating
back to the early 18th century. York’s revered Archives
are an inexhaustible source of inspiration and reference
for the artists, designers, and stylists who create the
beautiful

that
become
York
wallpapers.

OUR STUDIO
From modern to classic, York Wallcoverings creates
timeless designs for homes and commercial environments.
A key to the consistent sales and success of the company’s
products begins in our design studio. Long recognized
for its collective talent, the York Wallcoverings studio
maintains a reputation for innovative styling and fine artistry.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
The company’s original 100-year-old surface presses continue
to produce beautiful, distinctive document designs alongside
the newest state-of-the-art printing presses. And although
some of the printing technology has changed over the past
century, the pride and craftsmanship that existed back then
still
endures
throughout
this
historic
company.
MANUFACTURING
York is one of the only printing companies in the world to own
and operate five different types of printing presses – from some of
the oldest and rarest to some of the most modern. Each type of
press gives a distinctive look to the finished product. The oldest
of York’s presses dates back to the turn of the 19th century and
is able to produce a beautiful painterly effect that cannot be
duplicated by modern presses. Maintaining these presses and
the craft of using them is held in the highest regard by all at York.
