History

The company was founded in 1905 by Cornelius Toews Loewen who established Loewen Millwork, based out of Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada. Among its early products were items such as church pews and beekeeping equipment. From the 1930s through the 1940s the company shifted to manufacturing pre-built windows and doors to supply the post-war boom in housing construction. In the 1980s Loewen combined the company's old-world craftsmanship and work ethic with the most advanced production technology available at the time.^{[citation needed]}

International expansion

Through the 90's, Loewen expanded its distribution into the United States and became one of the leading suppliers^{[dubious – discuss]} of high-end, custom wood windows and doors.^{[citation needed]}
