Alvah Bushnell Company
VerifiedThe oldest manufacturer of legal filing products in the world, Alvah Bushnell Company has been handcrafting redrope file pockets, wallets, jackets, and mailers for law firms in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since 1876. Now in its sixth generation of family ownership, the company continues to manufacture entirely at its Philadelphia facility — explicitly rejecting overseas production despite lower-cost imports. Their handmade products serve over 4,000 law firms, some of which have maintained relationships with Bushnell for over a century.
