Umbrella Beach, LLC
Follmer Clogg and Company, established in 1884 in Philadelphia, became a prominent umbrella manufacturer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, after merging with other producers to form The Umbrella Company in 1892. By the 1920s, it was recognized as the largest umbrella factory in the United States, employing a significant portion of the city's industrial workforce and producing a vast array of umbrellas and related products.
During World War I, the company diversified its production to include parachutes for the U.S. military, showcasing its innovative capabilities with the patented Follmer Clogg Positive Opening Parachute. However, by 1939, the company ceased umbrella production due to declining demand and competition from synthetic fabrics, ultimately selling its assets and closing its doors after 47 years of operation at the same site.
