“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.”

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.
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 images that become York wallpapers.

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.

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.
M A N U F A C T U R I N G
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.

An important and growing part of York’s sales have evolved
with the growing demand for beautiful wallcoverings
in commercial installations. From hospitality and health care
to corporate and retail sectors, York Contract wallcoverings

performance, sustainability and indoor air quality. They also
meet our own high standards for beauty and artistry.

into one of the leading wall decal producers in the world.

I-Design Customizable Wall Designs gives our network
of York Contract distributors the opportunity to provide
quick turn-around production of custom wallcoverings
for their commercial designers and contract clients.
DIGITAL PRINTING
As the experts in wallpaper printing, York has also created
a new sales division to sell our print-ready wallcovering
substrates to custom print shops throughout the United States.
Print Media Solutions provides quality, proven wallpaper grounds
and media for digital printing of wallpapers, murals and wall décor.
The expansion of digital technology has afforded
opportunities in the area of custom wallpaper
printing. In addition to our own custom
design work, we have developed a web-based
custom design solution for our distributor customers.
SPECIALTY WALLPAPERS
Beautiful wall décor often goes beyond the pleasing colors
and carefully crafted artwork. The reflective nature of the inks,
the tactile feel and real dimension of the surface combine to add
luxurious appeal to the design. Intricately woven grasses,
natural leaves, real mica and cork, dazzling glitter, sculptured
inks, natural sand and glass beads are masterfully crafted into
exquisite wallpapers for our high-end collections.
G L O B A L R E A C H
Though cultures may differ, an appreciation for good
design is a common denominator throughout the world.
York Wallcoverings can be found in more than 85 countries,
spanning the globe from Europe, Asia and the Middle East to
some of the most unexpected corners of the earth. In a
global economy, customer service becomes even more
important. Bridging language and cultural barriers,
York’s customer support team maintains a reputation for
providing the highest standard of service in our industry.
