Rutherford Controls International Corp.’s history dates back to the Roaring 20’s, when J.H. Shellard Rutherford opened a small retail hardware shop in the town of Galt, Ontario, Canada. Innovation and foresight distinguished Rutherford from his competitors, as he was one of the first in the region to tap into the growing demand for electrical products by stocking a wide variety of electrical goods and supplies. In the early 1960s, the company incorporated architectural hardware distribution into its operation.
