Carlisle Celebrates America’s 250th Anniversary
Carlisle Companies Inc (CSL)
On July 2, 2026 employees at all 80 Carlisle locations across the United States gathered for company picnics celebrating America's 250th anniversary and the nearly 5,000 U.S. team members who deliver for Carlisle customers every day.
As Carlisle teams celebrated America’s 250th anniversary, they also reflected on the company’s journey since its founding in 1917: supporting America’s early industrialization, contributing to wartime production, transforming the commercial roofing industry, and helping build the physical infrastructure that powers the American economy. Across more than a century, Carlisle has contributed to American innovation, strengthened infrastructure, created jobs, and delivered long-term value, mirroring the trajectory of the United States itself.
Along the way, Carlisle introduced a series of industry firsts that redefined performance and efficiency in commercial construction, including installing Sure-Seal membrane on the roof of the rotunda at O’Hare International Airport in 1961, the first time a protective rubber membrane had been used to waterproof a commercial roof.
As America marks 250 years of progress and continues to celebrate our anniversary throughout 2026, Carlisle is proud to recognize the employees who continue to drive the company forward and help write the next chapter of its American growth story.
