Advanced technologies; team expertise.

At Canoe Forest Products, we combine sustainably sourced fibre from BC’s interior with advanced technologies and the expertise of our skilled team. The result: plywood that is renowned around the globe for its strength, consistency, and superior characteristics.

World-class
capacity

Our team of more than 175 dedicated employees works seven days a week to produce 145 million square feet of Douglas Fir plywood each year—enough to build 22,000 homes. With thicknesses ranging from 5/16” to 1-1/8”, we deliver panels that meet every construction need.

Precision Processing.

Every log begins its journey at Canoe Forest Products with precision processing. Logs are debarked, cut into 102-inch lengths, and then conditioned in vats heated to approximately 100°C. This carefully controlled step ensures optimal efficiency when the logs are peeled at the lathe, maximizing fiber utilization and resource value.

Advanced XY
Scanning Technology.

At the lathe, production is monitored with industry-leading XY scanner technology. Using advanced line-scanning laser sensors, the system ensures superior round-up, increased recovery rates, and higher production efficiency—delivering more value from every log while supporting sustainable forestry practices.

Automated Veneer Grading.

Once dried, each veneer sheet is evaluated by Canoe Forest Products’ grade scanner. This high-speed system instantly identifies dimensions, moisture content, and grade with remarkable accuracy, ensuring precise sorting and consistent product quality that meets the highest industry standards.

The Finished Product

The result is a high-quality plywood panel that has been trimmed, graded, and, when necessary, expertly repaired. Durable and reliable, Canoe plywood is engineered for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and residential applications—reflecting our commitment to innovation, sustainable resource management, and uncompromising performance.
