At the Bourneuf Corporation, we’ve been a wholesale and retail distributor of plumbing, heating and industrial products since 1893. We were founded by Louis Bourneuf, a French-Canadian carpenter, and Frank Linehan who was a local plumber. They opened a shop on Essex Street in Swampscott and the business grew from there.
In 1902, the company moved to Oxford Street in Lynn. At the Lynn facility, they introduced a new product invented by an area resident - the hub roof flange. It was invented and patented by Fritz Nies, and distributed throughout New England. Mr. Linehan died in 1930 and Louis Bourneuf passed away in 1950.
Albert Hammer bought the company in 1950 and, in 1955 moved the business to its current location, 55 Alley Street in Lynn, MA. He worked 30 long years as President and devoted the business to servicing wholesale contractors.
In 1982, Albert's son Norman assumed the Presidents' position and Bill Shallow became Vice President. In 1988, they put together a major expansion including a new 1500 sq. ft. showroom and warehouse addition, thereby tripling the available floor space. This was the start of adding a retail business to the already thriving wholesale business.
In 1997, Bill Shallow pioneered the business into an Employee Owned Company. He took over the President’s position and is the driving force behind the success of the business today.
Bourneuf is strongly supported by the Lynn community. Our focus is on supplying quality fixtures to local plumbers and heating contractors. We service the professional installer and meet all of the mechanical contractors needs.
We are a company that stands behind its employees as well as our products. Our inside sales force has 125 years of experience and our shipping service is the best all around.
In this new era of large chain wholesalers and retailers, The Bourneuf Corporation focuses on having the best service knowledge and customer relations in the industry. Our organization is a dinosaur amongst high tech businesses, but we will not become extinct!
With Bill Shallow as President, Mark Keaney as Vice President and all 23 employees, this company is a leading wholesale and retail distributor, but will always maintain its conservative approach, keeping true to the company’s history.
