Garland to Celebrate Milestone 125th Anniversary in 2020
CLEVELAND — The Garland Company Inc. will celebrate 125 years in business in 2020, joining a very small and elite group of companies to achieve such a milestone. Garland has developed numerous waterproofing technologies that have helped redefine performance expectations and set new standards worldwide.
Founded in 1895, the company began when Jacob B. Wise borrowed $100 from his brother to purchase Garland Refining Company, later renamed The Garland Company Inc. The company moved to its current headquarters in Cleveland’s Union-Miles neighborhood in 1919. There have been several additions and renovations to the building over the last century to accommodate growth, but the original building is still operational.
