History
George F. Russell and Raymond F. Watson founded Millard Lumber & Grain Company in 1948 after purchasing the business form William von Dohren. The business initially catered to a rural farming community of fewer than 400. Millard Lumber provided a center for the farmers to sell grain, buy coal and of course, purchase lumber. As time passed, George F. Russell shifted the focus of the business shifted towards building materials and products that supplied both professional contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners. Millard Lumber was an early manufacturer of roof trusses, pre-manufactured wall sections and pre-hung doors and has stayed in the forefront of advanced building techniques since that time.
Today, Rick Russell (George Russell’s son) and his management team run the family-owned business, along with over 300 associates at the Omaha, Waverly and Des Moines locations. Both of Rick’s sons, Joel and Mark, are an integral part of the organization.
While Millard Lumber has experienced tremendous growth, their mission for more than over a half a century remains unchanged today: to provide basic building materials and continually add product lines and services that provide quality and efficiency on the job. Millard Lumber Inc. associates work together as a team to provide quality building materials and services that consistently exceed the customer’s expectations.
