Warfel Construction Launches 115 Years of Gratitude Campaign in Celebration of Milestone Anniversary

East Petersburg, PA – Warfel Construction is proud to announce the launch of its 115 Years of Gratitude campaign, celebrating 115 years of building relationships, strengthening communities, and creating lasting impact across the Mid-Atlantic region.

Founded in 1911 and headquartered in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Warfel has spent more than a century serving clients and communities through a people-first approach centered around trust, collaboration, and its long-standing mission of building Clients for Life.

A Campaign Centered Around Gratitude

The campaign officially launches with a new brand video and storytelling initiative focused on the people behind Warfel’s journey — including employees, clients, trade partners, and community members who have helped shape the company’s story over generations.

“As we reflect on our history, we recognize that this milestone is not just about the buildings we’ve constructed — it’s about the relationships built along the way,” said Conlan Swope, President of Warfel Construction. “We’re incredibly grateful to the people who have trusted, partnered with, and grown alongside us throughout our journey.”

Growing with Purpose

Over the last several years, Warfel has continued to grow strategically while remaining grounded in the values that have defined the company for generations. The company expanded its regional presence with the addition of its Paoli office in 2019, its Winchester, Virginia, office in 2022, and, most recently, its State College office in 2024 — allowing Warfel to better serve clients and communities across the Mid-Atlantic region.

Alongside this growth, Warfel has continued investing in its people, strengthening its safety culture, and expanding its senior leadership team with leaders representing all areas of the business to support the company’s long-term vision and strategic direction.

Throughout its history, Warfel has remained resilient through defining moments that shaped both the industry and the communities it serves — including the 2008 recession and the COVID-19 pandemic — navigating challenges together through collaboration, adaptability, and a continued commitment to its people and partners.

As the company grows, its commitment remains the same: to ensure every client experience reflects the care, consistency, and integrity that define the Warfel experience.

Honoring the Past While Building the Future

The 115 Years of Gratitude campaign will continue throughout the year with a series of stories, videos, employee spotlights, community features, and partnership highlights that celebrate the people and relationships behind Warfel’s legacy.

The campaign also coincides with America’s 250th anniversary celebration, reinforcing Warfel’s connection to more than a century of growth, progress, and community-building.

“While we’re proud of where we’ve been, we’re even more excited about where we’re going,” said Matt Hartzler, CEO of Warfel Construction. “This campaign is ultimately about gratitude — and about continuing to build meaningful relationships for generations to come.”
