West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. · Vancouver, BC Canada ·(Pink Sheets: WFTBF)(Toronto: WFT)

West Fraser Timber sees the forest for the trees -- and the lumber and all the other wood products it gets out of its timber-cutting licenses. Through chief subsidiary West Fraser Mills, the company produces lumber and other products from about 40 sawmills and plants in Canada and the US. Lumber accounts for half of the group's sales, but West Fraser also produces laminated veneer lumber, panels and plywood, and pulp and paper. The company processes lumber from forests controlled by Canadian provincial governments. It logs mainly in Alberta and British Columbia, as well as in Louisiana and Arkansas. Half of the company's sales come from the US, followed by Canada, Asia, and Europe. To read the full description, subscribe now.
