Who We Are

Mead Lumber | Employee-Owned Lumber Company Since 1910

Who We Are

At Mead Lumber, our vision is simple: to Make You Feel at Home, From Design to Finish.

Our People, Our Strength

The heart of our company lies in our team of more than 1,300 dedicated associates. Many have chosen Mead Lumber as their lifelong career, with hundreds proudly serving for over 30 years (Mead Lumber Careers). From our drivers and sales professionals to our skilled manufacturing teams and local managers, every associate plays a vital role in shaping who we are.

A Culture Built on Dedication

We believe in creating a vibrant, supportive culture where teamwork, safety, and innovation thrive. Our fast-paced yet secure environment inspires creativity, encourages growth, and fuels new ideas. We reward hard work with competitive compensation and benefits, ensuring our team stays motivated, engaged, and proud of the work they do (Mead Lumber Careers).

More Than a Company—A Family

Founded in 1910 in Ashland, Nebraska, Mead Lumber has grown from one store to a trusted name in home building and design (About Mead Lumber). But growth hasn’t changed who we are—we remain a 100% employee-owned company. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), every associate is also an owner, invested in our success and committed to delivering exceptional service (NCEO.org).

What That Means for You

When you choose Mead Lumber, you’re not just a customer—you become part of our story. Every project, every milestone, and every relationship is built on trust, quality, and care.

We don’t just build homes—we build relationships. And we look forward to building one with you.
