With an increase in construction and a growing need for exports, ‘Wood Business’ reports that lumber companies generated approximately $58.5 billion in total profits. This helped to increase the GDP by nearly 5% and provided millions of new job opportunities.It also allowed certain mills to increase their operations.
‘Wood Markets’ notes that mills in both Canada and the United States saw dramatic increases in productions, with some surging more than 3% in both profits and outputs. These companies include:
