On September 28, Canfor announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase Anthony Forest Products Company (AFP), a company founded by two brothers that has manufactured high quality southern pine lumber for 95 years.
AFP operates a southern pine lumber mill in Urbana, Arkansas; wood chip mills in Plain Dealing, Louisiana and Troup, Texas; as well as an engineered wood laminating plant in El Dorado, Arkansas; a laminating plan in Washington, Georgia; and a joint venture I-Joist plant in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.

AFP is a leader in the forest products industry and has built its reputation on quality products and excellent customer service. Canfor is excited about the exceptional value this partnership will bring to its growing US South presence, and how it strengthens Canfor’s ability to serve its customers.
