Peckham’s 100th Anniversary
We empower our people to provide value that serves members’ purpose, customers’ growth, and communities’ interests. We educate, innovate, and apply technology in a way that is safe, sustainable, inclusive, and profitable.
One hundred years ago, Peckham Industries was founded by Bill Peckham, a timekeeper at a local construction company. Over the last century hundreds of timekeepers, operators, laborers, drivers, and more have chosen to grow with our family. Compulsive tinkerers came and stayed for 30, 40, and sometimes over 50 years making continuous improvements with great impacts. Multiple generations of families have joined us to serve our customers and communities. There are few companies out there who can say the same.
The passion and dedication of our members created countless opportunities for our collective family to grow to more than 1,000 people today. We are humbled and extraordinarily grateful to everyone who has chosen to join the Peckham Family to improve our business, support our communities, and maintain our family by choice culture. We are equally grateful to our customers and vendors who have supported us through both challenging and exciting times. It is our great privilege to mark this milestone with you, 100 years later, as together we pave the way for generations to come. Thank you for taking this journey with us and we look forward to the many more years ahead!

A Memorable Celebration in New York City
To kick off our centennial celebration, we gathered in New York City for an unforgettable two-day event. The festivities included a scenic boat ride around the Statue of Liberty, a chance to explore the city, and an evening at the iconic Museum of Natural History. With its impressive exhibits and atmosphere, it set the perfect backdrop for a night filled with joy, laughter, and shared memories. It was a weekend to remember, not only because of the exciting activities but also due to the connections made and the collective pride we felt in our company’s achievements.
Community Engagement and Contributions
Our celebrations extended beyond the city, with community events held in Westfield, MA; Shaftsbury, VT; Pleasant Valley, NY; and Hudson Falls, NY. These gatherings brought together local residents, our team members, and partners, creating an opportunity to reflect on the success of Peckham Industries and the impact we’ve had on each community. The turnout at each event was outstanding, and we were thrilled to see so many people join us in this milestone celebration.
Each of these community events was a success, thanks to the involvement and support of local residents, our team, and various partners. We also took the opportunity to give back by organizing food drives, collecting donations for breast cancer awareness, and hosting raffles to support local causes. These initiatives allowed us to contribute to the well-being of our communities and to show our gratitude for their ongoing support.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make these celebrations possible and who helped create an atmosphere of joy and unity. Looking ahead, we remain committed to fostering these relationships and continuing our tradition of community engagement. We look forward to strengthening these bonds in the years to come and ensuring that Peckham Industries continues to play an active and positive role in the communities we serve.
