DUQUESNE, Pa., June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- American Textile Company (ATC) marked its centennial with a gala event last evening in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The celebration showcased the company's remarkable journey from a single Pittsburgh factory to a globally recognized bedding supplier, with operations spanning the US, Central America, and Asia. Company employees, partners, and friends attended the event, which featured interactive exhibits of the company's products and its commitment to community engagement.

"Last night's event was a journey through 100 years of innovation, resilience, and community impact," said Lance Ruttenberg, ATC's President and CEO. "We celebrated not only our past achievements but also the bright future ahead, fueled by our incredible team, loyal customers, and partners. Achieving this milestone is a testament to the dedication and hard work that define ATC's success."
