Canfor’s story began in the 1930s with a single, family-owned operation on the banks of the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada. Our 85+ year history has shaped us, but our vision for the future defines us.
While many things have changed since Canfor was founded, our commitment to always be better—for our people, our customers, and the forests and communities we call home—remains the same. Driven by our values, we have grown to be a global leader in the manufacturing of low-carbon forest products. Along the way, we have added great companies, assets, and leaders, each with their own unique histories and always aligned with our values.
