Bourneuf Corp, a wholesale and retail distributor of plumbing, heating and industrial products, was founded in 1893 by Louis Bourneuf, a French-Canadian carpenter, and a local plumber named Frank Linehan. 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. A hub roof flange, invented and patented by Fritz Nies, was 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 Mass. He worked 30 long years as President and devoted the business to servicing the 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 Presidents' position and is the driving force in the success the business is today.Bourneuf is strongly supported by the Lynn community.
