Our history.

The history of Canfor began in the 1930s with a single, family-owned operation on the banks of the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada.

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 deeply aligned with our values.
