Competition
Competitive Landscape for Canfor Corporation
Demand is closely tied to the level of home construction. The profitability of individual mills depends on efficient operations, because the products are commodities sold based on price. Large companies have big economies of scale in sawmill operations. Large mills can have annual revenue per employee of close to $300,000, while small mills may achieve only half as much. Local mills can often compete successfully with those of large companies because they can efficiently serve a local market. Sawmills can operate with only a modest investment of capital, but plywood mills require expensive equipment and therefore are usually plants with high annual volume.
