Canadian producer of lumber, wood products and pulp, with operations in Canada and the US Southeast.
Canadian producer of lumber, wood products and pulp, with operations in Canada and the US Southeast.

In one line: A lumber producer like a smaller Weyerhaeuser.
Moat: none. Commodity lumber/pulp producer subject to housing cycles and softwood lumber trade tariffs, without a structural cost edge.
Headquarters: Vancouver, Canada · Founded: 1938 · Employees: 6,406
