Economy Lumber

Economy Lumber has been a trusted name in the building materials industry for over 85 years. Our company was founded in 1936 by Herbert Mabie and Charles Lannin, two entrepreneurs with a passion for providing quality building products and exceptional customer service.

Our History

Our journey began in an unincorporated district of Santa Clara County known as "Burbank". The first lumberyard was established on an unidentifiable street, which would remain in place for the next 24 years. In 1937, Lewis C. Woodfill was hired and worked as a millman. He later became a partner in the business. In 1950, original partner Mabie started an independent lumberyard five miles to the south, on purchased land amid the orchards of Campbell on South Winchester Road. This yard also operated briefly under the name Allied Lumber.
