Iconic mattress company, Shifman Mattress, recently celebrated its 125th anniversary with a grand event at its Newark, New Jersey factory. The milestone marks the company’s long-standing commitment to producing high-quality, handmade mattresses and staying true to its roots.
Shifman Mattress, founded in 1893 by brothers Abraham and Samuel Shifman, has remained a family-owned business throughout its history. The company has successfully navigated the ever-changing market by focusing on its core values of quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction. Today, Shifman is one of the few remaining mattress manufacturers in the United States that still handcrafts its products.
The anniversary celebration, which took place on October 5th, was attended by over 200 guests, including employees, retailers, and industry partners. The event featured factory tours, allowing attendees to witness the company’s skilled artisans at work, as well as a cocktail reception and dinner. The evening also included a presentation highlighting Shifman’s history and accomplishments over the past 125 years.
Shifman’s President, Bill Hammer, expressed his gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the company’s success. “We are extremely proud of our 125-year history and the fact that we have remained a family-owned business throughout all these years. Our success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees, retailers, and industry partners,” he said.
One of the key factors that sets Shifman apart from other mattress manufacturers is its commitment to using only the finest materials and adhering to traditional craftsmanship techniques. Each mattress is handcrafted using natural materials such as cotton, wool, and latex, ensuring a luxurious and comfortable sleep experience for customers.
In addition to its focus on quality, Shifman has also made a conscious effort to prioritize sustainability. The company uses eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes, such as recycling and reducing waste, to minimize its environmental impact. This commitment to sustainability has earned Shifman various accolades, including the GREENGUARD Gold Certification for its entire product line.
Shifman’s dedication to quality and customer satisfaction has not gone unnoticed by industry experts. The company has received numerous awards and recognitions over the years, including the prestigious Consumer Digest Best Buy Award for its mattresses.
As Shifman celebrates its 125th anniversary, the company remains committed to upholding the values and traditions that have made it successful. With a focus on quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, Shifman Mattress is poised to continue its legacy of excellence for many years to come.
