Townsend named Best Places to Work 2025

Once again, Townsend Leather has been named a BEST PLACE TO WORK by the Albany Business Review!
The Albany Business Review has been honoring companies in the greater capital region with this prestigious award for 22 years, and since Townsend started participating, we have earned the Best Places To Work title for half of those years! We are now at over a decade of being named a Best Place To Work, and are immensely proud of that achievement.
This recognition is hard-earned through employee surveys and comments; it comes from the words and minds of the people who work here every day.
We recently celebrated some of our employees who were celebrating milestone anniversaries at Townsend Leather (https://townsendleather.com/2025/lifestyle/the-heart-of-the-leather-making-region), while at that event, we gave special attention to our heart, something that makes us stand out, something that makes us extra, something that makes us Townsend. We are centered, heart-rooted in the leather making region of New York state, and we are there full hearted as our heart-filled selves. This focus on heart of Townsend Leather, is something that drives us and makes us who we who, and it is a reason we are able to earn recognitions like Best Place to Work – we get there through heart.
The heart of our people doing incredible work, the heart of our team looking out for each other, the heart of our passion at creating greatness together – it shows through in the work we do, the way we create together, and even in the awards we recieve.
We are proud of the recognition; we know it is a rare accomplishment, made even more rare by Townsend being positioned on the outer edges of the Greater Capital Region, and then even more rare yet by Townsend being a manufacturing company, so we do not take this win lightly. We know it matters. We know it is significant. And we know it is a true representation of who we are together, the best.
