ABOUT ROCHESTER 100®

More than 60 years of American-made quality, innovation and service.

OUR STORY

BUILT IN ROCHESTER. BUILT TO LAST.

Rochester 100® began in 1962 when Nicholas "Nicky" Sfikas set out to build a company based on hard work, innovation and taking care of customers. What started with two employees and a 700-square-foot loft has grown into a 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility—still owned and operated in Rochester, New York.

Our commitment is the same today as it was then: deliver high-quality products at a fair price with unmatched service.
