Canfor Acquires I-Joist Operation
Canfor Corp. has entered into an agreement with PinkWood Ltd. to purchase its I-joist business for $68 million, including working capital. Founded in 2009, PinkWood is the largest I-joist facility in Western Canada, producing engineered wood joists for residential, multi-family, and commercial construction.
Located in Calgary, AB, PinkWood has 120 employees, with production capacity of 46 million linear feet.
Of the total consideration, $55 million is payable on closing, with the remaining $13 million payable over five years.
“PinkWood is a leading manufacturer of high-quality I-joists with a strong management team and stable returns,” says Susan Yurkovich, President and CEO, Canfor. “Canfor’s acquisition of PinkWood complements our operations in Western Canada by enhancing product diversification and supporting the continued expansion of our value-added manufacturing capabilities. We are pleased to welcome the PinkWood team and believe this acquisition will strengthen our existing asset base and create opportunities for growth and value creation.”
PinkWood will retain its name and operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Canfor.
