Dunkley Lumber is renowned as one of Canada’s most technologically advanced lumber producers, capable of manufacturing up to 890,000 cubic meters of high-quality kiln-dried lumber annually at their largest sawmill operation located near Prince George, British Columbia.
As a family-run business since 1951, Dunkley has always endeavoured to satisfy their customers’ requirements utilizing the latest optimization technology and computerizedgrading systems. Since the early 1980s, Dunkley has been a preferred supplier of premium-grade CLS SPF dimension lumber and Douglas-fir dimension lumber for the 2×4 housing industry in Japan. Dunkley Lumber products are also shipped to other markets such as China, Taiwan, Korea and the Middle East.
In early 2019, Dunkley Lumber added two more sawmill/planermill operations to their group of companies: Foothills Forest Products in Grande Cache, Alberta and Edgewood Forest Products in Carrot River, Saskatchewan. These two operations have undergone significant upgrades and currently produce 190,000 m3 and 220,000 m3 per year respectively.
In total, Dunkley manufactures 1,300,000 m3 (815 million board feet) of lumber annually, the equivalent of 65,000 single family homes.
Dunkley Lumber takes pride in its high standard of environmental management systems for sustainable forest operations on its Tree Farm License (TFL #53) and is a recognized supplier of PEFC CoC-certified products from all their sawmill operations.
