West Fraser Timber Co Ltd's Comment on Supply Chain
West Fraser's manufacturing operations rely on a consistent supply of wood fibre in various forms. Primary manufacturing facilities use whole logs, while pulp and paper, particleboard, and MDF facilities utilize wood by-products such as wood chips, shavings, sawdust, recycled materials, hog fuel, and wood waste. The company does not own significant timberlands but sources wood fibre from multiple sources. In Canada, fibre is obtained through forest licences and agreements to harvest roundwood logs from Crown timberlands, supplemented by open market and private purchases. In the United States, roundwood logs are primarily sourced from private and industry-owned woodlands. In Europe, wood fibre is purchased from government and private landowners. Canadian manufacturing operations acquire fibre from publicly owned timberlands under provincially granted licences that specify annual harvest quantities and terms. These licences require payment of stumpage fees, which vary by province and product price, and include obligations such as reforestation. West Fraser's woodlands staff manage reforestation projects, which are approved by government authorities.
