The early days
Originally D. Waldner Co., a small family-owned business founded in 1939 by Daniel Waldner in Mineola, New York. The company served the local community with a variety of stationary supplies. In the years to follow, Daniel had a vision beyond the confines of stationary shelves. They recognized the importance of creating conducive and inspiring work environments. This vision propelled Waldner’s into the realm of office furniture solutions.
Through dedication, hard work, and a commitment to excellence, Waldner’s evolved into a trusted partner for businesses seeking to optimize their workspaces. Our journey has been marked by expansion, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction. In 1970, Daniel’s son, Stephen Waldner, became President of Waldner’s and a few years later, his son Jay Waldner joins the company upon graduating from Boston University and Stephen’s daughter, Meredith Waldner joins shortly after that upon graduating from Tulane University. Now a third generation family-owned business, Waldner’s creates a stronger presence in New York City and changing it’s name from D. Waldner Co. to Waldner’s Business Environments, reflecting the expanding focus of its business.
Today, Waldner’s stands tall with three strategically located offices, catering to a diverse clientele that spans industries. Our team of passionate experts brings together decades of experience and expertise to deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each client.
