From the company’s founding over 85 years ago, The Raymond Group was built on a foundation of hard work and determination. George M. Raymond learned the skills of a plasterer during the early years of the Depression. In 1936, his new company received its first large job – a housing tract to plaster in Lakewood, CA. What made Raymond move forward was George’s commitment to people – teamwork, communication, and a desire for quality and success.
George’s son Carl started a drywall division within the company in the late 1960’s, and he made a mark on the industry with his resolve to continue to have excellence, communication, and respect be the pillars of Raymond.
Principles from George and Carl guide The Raymond Group today, and they form the basis of our commitment to diversity, inclusion, safety, quality, and the health and well-being of everyone we work with as well as those customers that we serve.
As we look forward to the New Year, I am energized by the opportunities ahead, and the blessings we are provided. Each one of us has a responsibility to help one another and to make this a great organization, together as a team. I have never been prouder of this company and am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of it.
Thank you to everyone associated with Raymond – customers, vendors, service providers, and especially the Raymond employees – for another successful year. I wish you and everyone that you love a happy and healthy holiday season and a great new year.
– Travis Winsor, CEO
