About York Wallcoverings History


Our History

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 producer in the United States, manufacturing residential wallpaper, commercial wallcoverings and wall decals that can be found across 85 countries worldwide.

Artistry and Archives

Drawing from our past, the York Archives provide access to thousands of document designs dating back to the early 18th century. These furnish an inexhaustible source of inspiration and reference for our artists, designers, and stylists. The York Wallcoverings Studio, long recognized for innovative and fine artistry, is the largest and most prolific of its kind in the world.

Manufacturing and Craftsmanship

York has championed and embraced new printing technologies since opening its doors, but the pride and craftsmanship that existed over the past century still endures throughout our historic company today, ensuring authenticity of style and the highest quality of manufacture.

York is one of the only printing companies in the world to own and operate five different types of printing presses – from rare turn of the century presses to modern digital applications; each type giving a distinctive look to the finished product. Maintaining these presses and the craft of using them is held in the highest regard by all at York.
