West Fraser Timber Co.

About West Fraser Timber Co.

The website reached for this listing is the corporate site of West Fraser Timber Co., a large publicly traded multinational wood products company listed on the TSX and NYSE, and the pages read say nothing specific about the Henderson, Texas sawmill named in this record. The company describes itself as “a diversified global wood products company producing renewable building materials” and says it makes “renewable wood building products for the world.” Its products pages cover OSB, lumber, plywood, LVL, MDF, particleboard and pulp. The careers section refers to “more than 50 locations,” and the investor section states a strategy “driven by three key elements: being low cost, maintaining a strong balance sheet and reinvesting our profits into the business.” The history page traces the business to September 1955, when “the Ketcham brothers—Sam (25), Bill (30) and Pete (33)—purchased Two Mile Planing Mills Ltd. in Quesnel, B.C., for $60,000”; the West Fraser name came from a 1958 renaming of Wright Lumber and was adopted company-wide by 1966. The company says it has “grown from a small planer mill with 12 employees to become the largest producer of sustainable and renewable wood building products in the world,” and that it “accelerated our expansion into the U.S. in 2007, acquiring 13 mills located in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas.” Sustainability pages promise “responsible product sourcing and harvesting practices, backed by globally recognized forest certifications” and link to a certifications and chain-of-custody section, but the pages read name no specific certification scheme. Nothing on these pages gives the Henderson mill's products, capacity, staffing, log purchasing terms, minimum tract size, or how a landowner would sell timber to it.
