For another year, Townsend Leather has been named as a BEST PLACE TO WORK in the entire Capital Region by the Albany Business Review!  We are close to a decade of these meaningful awards that recognize the people we are and the way we do our work.  It is such a deep honor to be awarded this way, because we value our Partnership together more than anything, knowing that the best leather in the world is made by the best people in the world who are happy, engaged, trusted, cared for, and celebrated together.  Winning Best Place To Work again just gives us one more notification of validation that we do truly have the best team in the world, and we are so proud of it. 

The team that accepted the award on behalf of Townsend exemplified perfectly who we are and why we won.  Our team is driven, joy-filled, fun, engaged, and ready to take action.  You can see it in the teeny video clip and in the photos, they are awesome Partners part of an awesome team. 

* Please note we take all covid precautions seriously and do everything we can to keep our team and everyone around us safe and healthy, the video and photos were taken at a vaccination-only BPTW award event a few weeks ago. 

 

 

This award comes from employees’ written words and survey feedback.  It is not a popularity vote, it is not a bought message, it is direct from the hearts and minds of the people in the middle of it. 

This is why an award like this is especially meaningful.  Townsend’s own Partners combined with the input and evaluation of outside lookers-on, took everything into account, compared everything with all the companies in the entire region, and deemed that Townsend Leather earned the title of Best Place to Work.  

We love our work, we love who we do it for, and we love our team.  This is an award each of us on the team gets to own a piece of and carry proudly wherever we go.

What does it mean to be a Great Place To Work?
 
Maybe to figure that out we should ask ourselves what it isn’t. Being a great place to work doesn’t mean that every day is easy. It doesn’t mean that every day is fun, clear, or even that you leave always feeling like a winner. Sometimes it means that you have to get gritty, you have to dig deep, fight hard, and ignite a level of resilience you never knew was there.
 
A great place to work is a place where people feel so strongly about their product and about each other that they will not stop until both are the best they can be. It’s a place where we double down on what’s great, learn from what isn’t, and have each other’s backs while we grow forward.
 
It’s no wonder then that at this time, a time when everything may feel a little sideways Townsend Leather was named a Best Places to Work in the capital region for a 7th straight year in a row.
 
Congratulations Partners! This would not be possible without each and every one of us fighting forward and caring in a deep way. Keep fighting, caring, and doing what you do. – Pam 
 

Townsend Leather is a Top Work Place & Best Place to Work!

This past year was complicated and challenging. But, it was also joy-filled and amazing.

All of us at Townsend are so lucky to be surrounded by people with passion and care, with craft and purpose, with heart and joy.
To make the world’s best anything is impressive, to be part of a team that makes something that is unique, purposeful, beautiful, and hand-crafted, while being the best in the world – that is something astounding.
 
As we recover from and enjoy holiday celebrations and year-end hullabaloos, we would like to invite you to take a couple minutes, grab a friend, and watch this too-fast, photo-pile, mess-video of an incredible year at Townsend Leather. It is a compilation of a full year’s worth of photos of Townsend Leather Partners doing amazing things together.
 
It is impossible to truly represent the year we had together, the ups and downs, the overs and unders, the creations and tests… and this video just blurs it all together. But, you can let it just kind of wash over you, just let your eyes pick out all the smiles, the thumbs-ups, the colors, the hugs, the good times, the tiny sparks of memories that will pop up and you’ll find yourselves saying “I forgot about that!” or “I didn’t think that was this year!”, just bathe in it as it blurs by and enjoy the joy it will bring you as you recall and witness a year of changes and growth and newness and togetherness. You’ll also hear a couple of quick messages from some fellow Townsend Leather Partners who called into and left a message at our “joy-message-line”.
 
You can soon have a chance to sit longer with each of these photos, as they will be featured in our upcoming annual spectacular “yearbook”, but until then, enjoy this blur and thank you all for helping Townsend create an amazing year. Thank you to everyone who captured these moments in photos over the year. Thank you to everyone who submitted favorite photos of their year. Thank you to everyone who called the joy-message line.  And thank you to you, all Townsend Leather Partners and our greater Townsend community, for making our team the Best in the Capital Region, our leather the Best in the World, and our collective hearts the Best at feeling all the feels, together.
 

A too-fast, photo-pile of an incredible year at Townsend Leather. This is a compilation of a full year’s worth of photos of Townsend Leather Partners doing amazing things together. This year was complicated and challenging, but it was also joy-filled and amazing. And we did it all, together. Take a couple of minutes to let the past year just wash over you, in our blurview video.

I love how familiar everyone is with each other. We all know each others personalities, likes and even dislikes. LOL We really are like a close family! I feel very comfortable at my job EVERY day!

It might not be easy at times but the one thing is we are treated like family. We come in and work as a team everyday, through the good and the bad we have fun, laugh, joke around with one another while creating beautiful leather and being proud of what we make.

I love who I work with. This team is the f'n best!

Something I love about my job is the feeling that my work matters. I have input and a voice and am part of something.

Sarah Eckler
Thank you to all our customers who engage with Townsend Leather and incorporate our leathers into their designs. You are the reason we get to do what we love!

Thank you Townsend for all the hard work that you put into your product and making it beautiful for our projects.

I love the fall, especially because of NBAA. The months and time we anxiously and excitedly prepare for NBAA is like the feeling as a kid on Christmas Eve. The anticipation and inspiration felt from this show and our customers is something to look forward to the entire year!

I love the personal relationships that I have developed with our customers, throughout industries. I know about their personal lives and things that are important to them; not just about our work together.

I love when a customer challenges us by asking for something we have never done on leather. Challenge accepted!

Thank you to all the essential workers that have worked tirelessly to keep so many others safe.

Thank you ice cream, for existing.

I am thankful for sunlight.

Thank you Jared Eckler for being the best leader and role model I’ve had the honor of working for. Thank you for believing in every one of us. Much love for you and the entire Kucel Family

Thank you Townsend Leather for 50 years of positive action in our Glove Cities community.

Thank you to all Townsend Partners for making it such a joy to work every day.

Townsend Leather is so FULL of love.  We work by and with our hearts and it shows all around.  Here is just a glimpse of the love and hearts in and around Townsend.  

Maybe you’ve seen our “Get a Job You Love ❤️” billboards around, or maybe you’ve been to an Amsterdam Mohawks game and saw Townsend there, or maybe you’ve come across us online somewhere – and you might have wondered what all those icons/stickers/little weirds were. 

Each one has a story, a Townsend story.  

 

 

Townsend’s leadership team is full of award winners, notably 3 distinguished as 40 Under 40 winners, with Tim Becket as the most recent recipient: https://townsendleather.com/2020/lifestyle/40-under-40 

 

 


 

 

For many years, Townsend Leather has continuously won awards for our Team, our culture, and our Leadership – making us the Top Work Place and Best Place To Work: https://townsendleather.com/2020/lifestyle/topworkplace 

 

 

 


 

We believe in our company, in our people, and in our culture.  We believe in making it better every day.  Awards like these are not necessary, they aren’t something we specifically strive for, but to be recognized for the things that we hold near and dear to our hearts, feels good: https://townsendleather.com/2018/lifestyle/townsend-top-work-place

 

 


 

 

Be Excellent to Each Other is a credo we gladly live by at Townsend.  We are Partners in this together, crafting side by side and continually being excellent, together.  You can buy this as a shirt and proudly wear your excellence: www.bonfire.com/be-excellent-to-each-other-2/

 

 


 

Townsend is an equal opportunity employer and is a proud supporter of the HRC and its mission. We are heartfelt intent on balance, growth, and innovation for all, especially those that face marginalization and unfair barriers. 

 

 


 

We are Stronger Together.  We love our team.  So we do everything we can to support one another.  We have a “Hides of Hope” Partners supporting Partners system where we can work together to help each other through tough times and celebrate with each other in great times, our Stronger Together shirts even help support our system: https://www.bonfire.com/stronger1609829160together/

 

 


 

We love our Glove Cities community.  Which is why are proud to give our around $10,000 in local community support each year.  We love hugs and this is one small we we can gift out and hug our community: https://townsendleather.com/contact/hug

 

 


 

 

Thumbs-ups are the best, right?!  We love high-fives, air-high-fives, hugs, and every kind of hand-gesture-celebration!  Sometimes we are just feeling thumbs-upy! 

 

 

 


 

We love t-shirts at Townsend!  We love to rock and we love shirts.  We love to rock so much we made a shirt about it, we love shirts so much, we made a website for them! https://www.townsendleathershirts.com/

 

 

 


 

Townsend Leather makes the world’s best upholstery leather.  We are masters of cowhide, and that is not a brag, it is just a fact.  Our team is the world’s best at crafting leather.  Our team is cool.  This cow is cool, just check out their sunglasses (that’s how you can tell they are cool), everyone at Townsend is always wearing metaphorical sunglasses because they are endlessly cool. 

 

 


 

Townsend is also full of goofballs, shirts, leather, and fun.  Some of our absolutely legendary Partners are known as the “who what where guys”.  And can often be found severing as our own 3 stooges crew:  https://youtu.be/u5OCvnLdjMs 

 

 

 


 

At Townsend, we love what we do, we love who we do it for, and we love who we do it with.  Everything we do is based on passion and craft. We are a team of thinkers and problem-solvers, innovators, goal-setters, question-askers.  

We only seek out doers, action-takers, and awesome people. So, since we look for those things, our team is already staffed with the greatest people in the area.  When you join our team, you will be surrounded by the greatest people with the biggest hearts.

Get a job you love at Townsend Leather

Love is love – show your love, in allyship.

Earlier this month we shared ways you can show Pride in your leather designs with Townsend, www.townsendleather.com/pride-2021, in everything we do at Townsend, we deeply love leather, but we know what is even more important is, people.  So we also wanted to share our passion and pride for humans.  

This year we continued and increased our support of the HRC and their valiant mission.  

“The Human Rights Campaign envisions a world where every member of the LGBTQ family has the freedom to live their truth without fear, and with equality under the law. We empower our 3 million members and supporters to mobilize against attacks on the most marginalized people in our community.  Equality for ALL not for some.”

Equality for all‘ is an idea we can fully and strongly stand behind.  It is an idea we try hard to express out to our community.  Sometimes the impact you have on others stays invisible, but sometimes you get lucky and you meet someone who is brave and willing to be vulnerable.  Sometimes you meet someone like Sabrina, who volunteers to share the story of her first days at Townsend, what it meant to her, and what it continues to be for her.  

Sabrina joined Townsend Leather in March and quickly become a Partner associated with greatness.  Sabrina has impressed everyone with focused dedication to work, speed, and a fun-to-be-around attitude.  Sabrina is a person who brings people together and we are so glad she is part of the team.  

 

“When I first came to Townsend, I was really scared. I heard great things about the place, but I didn’t know if they were true or if I was even going to be liked for who I was.

 

But, I was happily surprised that Townsend truly was such a loving and caring environment.

 

On my first day, I was really slow and kept apologizing to my trainer, but she kept brushing my apologies aside and encouraging me, telling me that I was doing great. That day I even met the president of the company, Jared, and he was also so lovely, nice, and encouraging. It was such a relief to know that the people were really like a family.

 

It was because of this warm, family kindness that I finally opened up to people about being pansexual. I always hid it before, because I was afraid of being judged and hated for it, but the people at Townsend welcomed me and I even met other people who were gay/bisexual. It was so nice.

 

I started learning more about the LGBTQ+ community and accepting who I was. I learned it was okay to like men, women, non-binary people, transgender people, etc; and I learned, I am really, really glad I came to work here.” 

 

And  so  are  all  of  us.  

 

Townsend is an equal opportunity employer.  We are heartfelt intent on balance, growth, and innovation for all, especially those that face marginalization and unfair barriers.  We hope everyone can find a place they feel welcomed, where they feel like they are with family, and we will continue striving to be that place for as many people as we can.  

 

 

 

The impact of covid will be felt still for years to come, in tangible ways like shipping difficulties and supply chains, and in invisible ways like in our hearts as we each carry the heavy weight of the death and emotional toll this global pandemic wreaked upon us all.  

 

 

Townsend has always been a forward-looking and positive-focused company, so we are excited for a brighter future and this moment in the present for reflection and celebration.  70% of New York staters have been vaccinated, which means we can confidently remove some restrictions.  We can feel a moment of peace in knowing we have turned a corner.  

 


VISITORS: Due to a high level of vaccinations, great actions of so many people looking out for each other, and improved circumstances, we are now fully open to thoughtfully-scheduled visits.  Go to www.townsendleather.com/appointment to schedule a visit.  

SHIPPING/BOOKING:  Lingering impacts from covid will burden the industry for a long time to come, but with our team’s careful foresight, experienced aptitude, and impassioned care for providing to our customers – we can now confidently book orders to ship in 5-6 weeks for new production.

We also always have In-Stock leather on our shelves ready for your designs.  So if even greater speed is of critical importance, browse our vast selection of in-stock leathers to find what we can ship you right now.  

Each year we take one week to exclusively focus on maintenance and reproduction reinvigoration, so once again Townsend will be closed for production on Monday, July 5 through Friday, July 9, returning on July 12.  Our office, for orders, samples, communication, and the other plethora of things our Customer Service team can do for you, will remain open through that week.  


 

 

But, there is no going “back to normal”.  The world has changed and we have changed along with it.  Some of the hardest challenges we have faced and some of the proudest moments have all occurred over the past 15 months.  We have grown and learned and we know, the best way forward is to take stock of what we experienced, note what we learned, and apply it forward.

Our hard-wrought lessons will guide us to even better days ahead.  Improved communication, even greater tools at hand, enhanced processing, new efficient and exciting machinery, cleaning and safety enhancements… all are things that we delved into and will reap benefits from for still years to come.  

 

 

While we continue to grow and continue to learn, we are putting our lessons into practice.  Our covid-specific-magnified-

safety restrictions are being removed because it is now safe, but our learning and enhancements that have come from this time will always be in place.  Therefore, we are excited to say, we are now fully open to thoughtfully-scheduled visitors.  

Come for a tour, come for a visit, come for learning – just submit an appointment form to get scheduled.  www.townsendleather.com/appointment

 

 

Through hard times, good times, distance, or closeness, we are always together in partnership.  

 
If you have any questions about your order or an order you hope to place in the next couple of weeks, contact us: info@townsendleather.com Because we ARE the manufacturer, there is almost always a solution we can custom-craft for your needs.  
 
We are not defined by proximity, by the work we do, by the danger we face… we are defined by the values we display in times of strife and we aim, to be defined, by being Partners, together
And we sincerely thank you for joining us in partnership through this time.
– Townsend Leather

Maybe you’ve seen our “Get a Job You Love ❤️” billboards around, or maybe you’ve been to an Amsterdam Mohawks game and saw Townsend there, or maybe you’ve come across us online somewhere – and you might have wondered what all those icons/stickers/little weirds were. 

Each one has a story, a Townsend story.  

 

 

Townsend’s leadership team is full of award winners, notably 3 distinguished as 40 Under 40 winners, with Tim Becket as the most recent recipient: https://townsendleather.com/2020/lifestyle/40-under-40

We are Stronger Together.  We love our team.  So we do everything we can to support one another.  We have a “Hides of Hope” Partners supporting Partners system where we can work together to help each other through tough times and celebrate with each other in great times, our Stronger Together shirts even help support our system: https://www.bonfire.com/stronger1609829160together/

We love t-shirts at Townsend!  We love to rock and we love shirts.  We love to rock so much we made a shirt about it, we love shirts so much, we made a website for them! https://www.townsendleathershirts.com/

 

 

 


 

Townsend Leather makes the world’s best upholstery leather.  We are masters of cowhide, and that is not a brag, it is just a fact.  Our team is the world’s best at crafting leather.  Our team is cool.  This cow is cool, just check out their sunglasses (that’s how you can tell they are cool), everyone at Townsend is always wearing metaphorical sunglasses because they are endlessly cool. 

 

 


 

Townsend is also full of goofballs, shirts, leather, and fun.  Some of our absolutely legendary Partners are known as the “who what where guys”.  And can often be found severing as our own 3 stooges crew:  https://youtu.be/u5OCvnLdjMs
