Vickerman Celebrates 85 Year Milestone, Honoring Tradition While Innovating Sustainable Holiday Décor Solutions

Vickerman celebrates its 85-year milestone and has been at the heart of holiday tradition, helping transform spaces into festive destinations that inspire joy and wonder, becoming one of the most trusted names in professional holiday décor. 

Founded in the 1940s, Vickerman began with the sale of Christmas lights through sales representatives working for a lighting brand. By the 1970s, the second generation of the Vickerman family expanded the business by importing products from Taiwan. The 1990s brought a broader scope, with large-scale global imports that allowed the company to offer a comprehensive range of ornaments and trees, steadily evolving into a premier source for professional-grade holiday decorations. 

Today, Vickerman serves as a go-to supplier for decorators, designers, and businesses across the United States and beyond. From 50-foot commercial Christmas trees adorning grand hotel lobbies to delicate ornaments designed for intimate spaces, the company provides unmatched versatility. Its product line spans everything from wreaths, garlands, and oversized bows to sample kits that help decorators present concepts directly to their clients. With its customizable options, Vickerman ensures that every installation, whether for a resort, shopping mall, or private residence, captures the magic of the season. 

Sustainability and quality have become guiding principles for the brand. Vickerman invests in UV-protected ornaments that retain their brilliance season after season, preventing unnecessary waste. Its artificial trees feature high-quality PVC and PE construction, with metal hinges and professional-grade LED lighting designed to last for years. Outdoor greenery is also galvanized and waterproofed to further ensure durability, giving decorators confidence that their installations will maintain beauty throughout the holidays. 

Technology has also played a role in enhancing the customer experience. One standout innovation is Vickerman’s Ornament Calculator, a free digital tool that helps decorators determine the exact number of ornaments needed for a tree of any size. By allowing professionals to visualize coverage and customize designs, the tool not only saves time but also prevents over-purchasing, reinforcing the company’s sustainability values.

Beyond tools, Vickerman fosters a vibrant community of decorators through design contests, showcasing how professionals use its products to create dazzling displays across the country. The company’s showrooms in Atlanta and Dallas provide additional inspiration, while its interactive catalog, featuring embedded videos and QR codes, brings designs to life for customers browsing at home or in the office. 

According to Randy Schuster, Co-Owner and Partner of Vickerman, the company’s longevity is rooted in its dedication to helping professionals succeed: “We have always seen ourselves as more than a supplier; we are partners in our customers’ creativity. Our goal is to provide the quality, versatility, and tools they need to bring their visions to life, while constantly improving their experience.” 

As Vickerman celebrates its 85th year, the company remains committed to innovation, sustainability, and the artistry of holiday design. From its humble beginnings to its current role as one of the industry leaders, Vickerman continues to set the stage for holiday magic, ensuring that every season shines a little brighter.
