West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd.
 PROFILE
West Fraser Timber, through chief subsidiary West Fraser Mills, can see the forest for the trees and for the lumber and all the other wood products it gets out of its timber holdings. The company has integrated operations from its timberland and 14 sawmills to 15 full-service warehouses and 41 retail home-improvement stores (which it is selling to Canada-based RONA Inc.). Besides lumber, the company produces medium-density fiberboard, pulp, and paper (linerboard; kraft paper; newsprint). West Fraser Timber operates mainly in Alberta and British Columbia. Its lumber and the retail divisions garner the most revenues. Canada accounts for 55% of sales.
