SHT: Tell us about the history of the L. R. Brands idea and name?
CO: L.R. Brands is part of Oatey Co., which was founded in 1916 by Lee Roy Oatey, who went by the name L.R. Oatey. Named after our founder, L.R. Brands pays homage to our century-long heritage of delivering high-quality behind-the-wall products for tradespeople, even as we expand our footprint in the front-of-wall, designer-focused space.
