York Wallcoverings - About York

Since 1895, York Wallcoverings has been providing 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 and commercial wallcoverings that can be found worldwide in more than 40 countries.

Although the final production of each beautifully crafted wallpaper is completed by York’s talented print craftsmen, each pattern originates in York’s renowned Design Studio. Long recognized for its creative talent, York’s studio is considered the industry leader in color and design. Utilizing the latest computer-assisted design equipment along with the fine art skills of more traditional artists, the studio creates an infinite variety of designs to satisfy the decorating needs of a diverse market.

One source of inspiration for the York Design Studio is the company’s archival collection of document designs and reference materials. With documents 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 images that become York wallpapers.

Pride in craftsmanship has long been a hallmark of our historic company. Our printing processes range from state-of–the-art equipment to 100 year old presses. These rare old presses in the hands of our highly skilled craftsman produce beautiful painterly effects that cannot be duplicated by modern printing techniques. Maintaining these old presses and the craft of using them is held in the highest regard by all at York Wallcoverings.
