A hardwood production surge will soon come to the North American lumber market - with recent reports noting a merger between Columbia Forest Products and Nova Wood Lamination.According to Wood Business, Columbia Forest Products - a U.S.-based plant founded in 1957 - recently acquired the Nova Wood Lamination corporation. This merger (which is one of many from Columbia, with the company expanding its practices across North America) will bolster the market, creating a need for decorative hardwood and plywood products. Analysts anticipate that both harvesting and milling operations will increase across Canada and the United States to compensate.
That anticipation is well-founded. Columbia Forest Products already ranks among the largest wood providers in North America, with locations in North Carolina, Oregon, Wisconsin, Vermont, Maine, Ohio, Arkansas, West Virginia, Virginia, Ontario, and Quebec. The Nova addition will simply increase its production capabilities - which will inspire a healthy market margin.
Connexus Industries is prepared for this, providing milling companies with specialized sharp top chains (which deliver custom tip designs to ensure maximum grips and minimum tear-outs). We blend corrosion-resistant materials with precise engineering, creating products that can endure every lumber demand.
This will prove essential as Columbia Forest Products continues its push toward hardwood domination.
