In 2026, McCartney’s Workplace Solutions proudly marks 100 years of family ownership, and in 2027, the company will celebrate an incredible 140 years in business serving Altoona, PA, and the Central Pennsylvania region.
For more than a century, McCartney’s has remained a locally owned, family-run business in Altoona, growing alongside the community it serves. Founded in 1886, the company has evolved through generations of leadership while continuing its commitment to service, relationships, and supporting local organizations.
Today, McCartney’s Workplace Solutions is led by third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation family members, continuing a legacy that spans five generations of involvement in the business.
A Two-Year Celebration of Family Business in Central Pennsylvania
Rather than marking these milestones with a single event, McCartney’s is launching a two-year anniversary celebration highlighting:
- Family history and generational leadership
- Historical photos and business milestones
- Customer and community testimonials
- Employee spotlights
- Throwback advertisements and products
- Stories from the Altoona and Central PA community
As a long-standing family-owned business in Altoona, PA, McCartney’s believes its story is deeply connected to the people and organizations it has worked with over the years.
“This milestone isn’t just about longevity,” the company shared. “It’s about the community relationships and local partnerships that have made 140 years possible.”
Inviting the Community to Share Memories
As part of the celebration, McCartney’s Workplace Solutions is inviting customers, partners, and community members to participate.
Do you have:
- Old McCartney’s products?
- Vintage advertisements?
- Photos of past storefronts or projects?
- Stories or memories connected to the business?
The company is encouraging the public to share those pieces of history through social media or by emailing marketing@mccartneys.com.
Selected submissions may be featured throughout the anniversary celebration.
