In 2026, Drapery Industries proudly marks a major milestone: 60 years of continuous operation as a trusted commercial window treatment manufacturer in the Upstate and Western New York region. Founded in 1966 by Herb Mock and Hy Aresty, Drapery Industries has grown from its early beginnings into a trusted regional manufacturer known for quality, reliability, and long-standing customer relationships.
A Legacy Built on Long-Term Partnerships
This anniversary is more than just a celebration of time in business. It represents six decades of steady growth, craftsmanship, and a clear focus on serving our commercial clients. Drapery Industries focused on our specific niche, working exclusively on commercial projects where performance, durability, and compliance matter most.
From healthcare facilities and educational institutions to hospitality and government buildings, we have built our reputation by delivering solutions that hold up in demanding, real-world conditions. That consistency has made us a dependable partner for architects, designers, contractors, and facility managers who need confidence that the job will be done right.
Over time, the industry has changed. Building standards have evolved, materials have improved, and customer expectations have shifted. Through it all, Drapery Industries has adapted without losing sight of what matters most. We continue to approach each project with a hands-on mindset, working closely with clients to ensure the final result meets both functional needs and design goals.
Celebrating 60 Years While Looking Ahead
The 60th anniversary will be celebrated throughout 2026, not with a single event, but as an ongoing opportunity to connect with customers, partners, and the local community. The Drapery Industries headquarters in Rochester, NY, is always open for visitors, offering a closer look at how our work is done and the people behind it.
This approach reflects how the company has always operated. It is not about one moment. It is about relationships built over time. We would love to give you a transparent view into the craftsmanship and processes that have defined Drapery Industries for decades.
Today, Drapery Industries continues to serve Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and the broader Upstate New York region. Their product offerings include roller shades, draperies, blinds, cubicle curtains, stage curtains, and other specialty window treatments designed specifically for commercial use.
Reaching 60 years in manufacturing is a meaningful achievement. It speaks to resilience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the industries we serve. As Drapery Industries looks ahead, the focus remains the same: continuing to deliver quality work. We will stay committed to the standards that built the business in the first place.
