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.

Competition

Competitive Landscape for West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd.
Timber is harvested to make paper or wood products (mainly lumber and plywood). Residential construction and repair/remodeling account for nearly 70 percent of all lumber used in the US. Demand for paper is driven partly by the general health of the economy, which influences demand for office papers, cardboard boxes, newspapers, magazines, and tissue papers. Large logging companies can have a cost advantage over smaller ones through the use of more efficient (and more expensive) machinery, but logging is a very local activity, often without significant economies of scale. To read the full description, subscribe now.
