Mooresville, NC-based Lowe's has Promoted Paul D. Ramsay as Chief Information Officer
About the Company
Lowe`s has been helping our customers improve the places they call home for more than 60 years. Founded in 1946, Lowe`s has grown from a small hardware store to the second-largest home improvement retailer worldwide. Our story began in North Carolina, when Carl Buchan, part owner of the North Wilkesboro Hardware Company, envisioned creating a chain of hardware stores. He purchased the company from his brother-in-law and partner and had the foresight to anticipate a post-World War II building boom. By eliminating wholesalers and dealing directly with manufacturers, Lowe`s established a lasting reputation for low prices. Sales grew over time and we expanded all across the country and now operate stores not only in the United States, but also in Canada and Mexico. Although times have changed since Lowe`s first opened its doors in 1946, Lowe`s values have not— the company remains committed to offering high-quality home improvement products at everyday low prices, while delivering superior customer service.
