San Group Website

Company Description:

San Group is an innovative and dynamic multi-level forest product company located on the Coast of British Columbia. With a vertically integrated structure, we are able to manage all stages of the manufacturing process, from harvesting and sawmilling to transportation, remanufacturing, value-added manufacturing, and shipping. With harvest to home as the business structure there is great pride in being hands on from the forest all the way to delivering fine finished products on our very own trucks.

As a 100% Canadian-owned and operated company, we are proud to export our products globally to more than 40 countries. Our commitment to excellence has earned us recognition within the industry, including the prestigious 2018 Business in Vancouver, BC Exporter of the Year in the Natural Resources Division and Overall, 2019 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, 2020 Business Examiner Manufacturer of the Year, and 2022 Business Examiner Company of the Year awards.

We have been one of the largest investors in the BC forestry sector, acquiring and revitalizing the Coulson Sawmill in Port Alberni, constructing the first new sawmill on Vancouver Island since the early 1990s, and building one of the world’s most advanced value-added wood products manufacturing plants. With our latest acquisition of Acorn Forest Products, we see a bright future for forest products and take pride in every product we send to market.

At San Group, we believe in sustainable forestry practices and strive to minimize our environmental impact through responsible management of our resources. We are committed to supporting First Nations, local communities and providing high-quality, eco-friendly products to customers around the world.
