Founders’ Principles Steer Success Path for Over Five Decades
by Allyson Markey
White Plains Drapery and Upholstery, founded by Nicholas and Rosemarie Lanera in 1964, is a family-owned operation based in Mamaroneck, N.Y. The business is divided into two separate, but complementary, divisions—Commercial Draperies Unlimited and Lanera Decorating. While Nicholas (middle) still enjoys checking in on the business from time to time, his children Sally (Lanera) Malvarosa (left) and James Lanera (right) currently run the companies.
