Douglas Ledwidge, president of Ledwidge Lumber, said they have grown their family business over 70 years. "Recently we've made our own investments in a new planer facility, an efficient and environmentally friendly dry kiln system that runs on wood shavings, and a new saw line," said Mr. Ledwidge. "A long-term relationship with a financial institution is important for our company's growth strategy."
Ledwidge Lumber is one of Nova Scotia's oldest family-run sawmills, producing stud lumber for housing construction and specialty products. The company can produce up to 100 million board feet of lumber and value-added lumber products annually.
