BC Wood is a not-for-profit trade association that has represented British Columbia’s value-added wood products industry for 30 years. It is an industry-led association with a membership base of 120 wood products manufacturers and a board of directors that represents every value-added sector in every region of the province.
Established in 1989 as a partnership between industry and government, BC Wood provides marketing programs to registered value-added manufacturers, which includes cost-shared participation in international tradeshows and events, out-going and incoming trade missions, lead generation, and networking opportunities. In addition, BC Wood members have access to an extensive resource library, both on-line and in our office.
BC Wood’s mandate is to assist BC’s secondary wood product manufacturers to grow faster by helping them access and exploit markets they would not otherwise enter. By diversifying the members’ market activities, the dollar value of BC fibre is maximized while the business risk is minimized.
BC Wood plays a major role in accelerating the ongoing growth of the value-added wood products industry by addressing a key limitation to growth: market intelligence and access to markets. To do this, BC Wood (in collaboration with its partners including the provincial government, the federal government and other government agencies and organizations) networks and connects BC’s secondary wood manufacturers with global buyers of our specialty wood products.
BC Wood staff annually organizes and participates in as many as 24 cost-shared tradeshows and events around the world. BC Wood has a 25-year track record of providing services to the value-added industry with an outstanding level of customer satisfaction. Programs are universal in nature and are open to all companies in the value-added industry on a cost shared basis.
