Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff

Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff

The Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Company is a conglomerate of companies that started in the 19th century with Johann George Pfaltzgraff's emigration from Germany to York, Pennsylvania (in the Susquehanna Valley). Pfaltzgraff was a potter and, after he died in the late 1800s, his children carried on his pottery making business and started "The Pfaltzgraff Company", a kitchenware company, in 1889.

In 1965, "Susquehanna Communications" ("SusCom") was founded as a division of "Susquehanna Broadcasting" but changed its name in 1999, reflecting its change from a provider of traditional cable television to a provider of a variety of advanced, interactive, digital communications products.

In December 1981, "Susquehanna Real Estate" was formed.

In 1993, "Susquehanna Media Company" ("SMC") was formed, of which Susquehanna Communications was a subsidiary (but, as of 2007, is owned by Comcast). Susquehanna Radio, another subsidiary, was bought by Cumulus Media Partners on May 5, 2006. Susquehanna Radio owned and operated 33 AM and FM stations nationwide at its peak, including WSBA AM in York, PA.

"BlazeNet" was founded in 1996 to provide dial-up and cable modem access in central Pennsylvania.

"Susquehanna Technologies" ("SusQtech") became its own entity in November 2001.

Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co. was sold in May 2006.
