West Fraser Timber Co.

About West Fraser Timber Co.

The pages gathered for this listing are West Fraser Timber Co.'s corporate website, not a site for the Nacogdoches operation, so what follows describes the parent company; the web address carried on this record, norbord.com, now leads to that corporate site, and West Fraser says it acquired Norbord, "the world's largest OSB producer," in 2021. West Fraser calls itself "a diversified global wood products company producing renewable building materials" and "one of the world's largest producers of renewable wood building products, with more than 50 facilities in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe." Its quick facts list roughly 10,000 employees, 32 lumber mills, 15 OSB mills, 9 engineered wood mills and 2 pulp and paper mills. Products named are OSB, lumber, plywood, LVL, MDF, particleboard and pulp, with sourcing and harvesting practices the company says are "backed by globally recognized forest certifications." The history pages trace the business to September 1955, when the Ketcham brothers bought Two Mile Planing Mills Ltd. in Quesnel, B.C., for $60,000; the West Fraser name was applied in 1958 and adopted company-wide by 1966. The company states it accelerated U.S. expansion in 2007 by acquiring 13 mills in states including Texas, becoming "the largest softwood lumber producer in North America," and that it marked its 70th anniversary in 2025. Its stated values are safety, integrity, frugality, competitiveness, fun, teamwork, humility and trust. Nothing on the crawled pages refers to Nacogdoches. As described on westfraser.com, read 23 September 2026.
