Interfor is positioned as one of the North America’s pre-eminent wood product companies. Interfor is a manufacturer of a diverse line of quality wood products for new home construction and for repair and remodeling markets. We are working to create superior and sustainable value for shareholders, customers and employees.

Interfor has made significant progress implementing major initiatives to improve our business. Highlighting these changes was a major expansion of our business into the Pacific Northwest, with new sawmill acquisitions in Washington and Oregon in 2004/2005. In addition, the company has made great strides to improve operational efficiency, lower costs, increase asset utilization and drive return on investment. The company generates over $800 million in annual sales and has production capacity of 1.4 billion board feet of softwood lumber.

Our Interfor, Interfor-Pacific and Adams Lake brands are renowned for their quality in markets in the US and around the world. We are one of the leading producers of structural lumber in the Pacific Northwest. As a result of our access to timber from some of the finest growing regions in British Columbia, Interfor is a leading producer of fine grain Western Red Cedar, Hemlock, Douglas-Fir. These species are ideally suited for appearance and specialty applications ranging from doors and windows to elegant decks, siding and garden furniture.

Interfor’s success as a company is directly related to the success of our customers; therefore all our business units work at building strong customer partnerships that focus on providing consistent, reliance supply at competitive prices. We strive to ensure a positive experience with Interfor products right through the value chain from the forest to the consumer.

At the heart of Interfor’s business is a set of core values that are embodied within the company.

  • People are the foundation of our company
