Description

Chantiers Chibougamau Ltd. in Chibougamau, Quebec, is one of Canada’s leaders in engineered wood products and systems. The company was started in 1961, when Lucien Filion and his employees began sawing timbers for the local mining industry. During the 1970s and 1980s, production shifted from squares to random-length dimensional lumber, and in the 1990s, the idea came along to consider engineered wood processing.

June 16, 2014 - In rural New Brunswick, a couple hours north of Moncton, a former logging contractor has sold his forest machines to invest in a green technology that will give local wood products the durability to compete with exotic hardwoods. The technology was developed in Finland where wood product manufacturers have found that simply heating lumber at very high temperatures changes the chemical composition of the wood to make it rot resistant.

July 2, 2014 - While the Stella-Jones pole processing plants in Prince George and Galloway, British Columbia both report to North America's leading provider of utility poles and railway ties, each facility is responsible for managing its own operation independently. When it came to choosing a replacement for their aging log-handling equipment, the two site managers, working 500 miles apart, came to the same conclusion. Today, the Prince George and Galloway facilities are both running new purpose-built SENNEBOGEN 830 M-T material handlers.
