“We are delighted with the opportunity to service the customers and support the suppliers that have been dealing with White-Wood throughout British Columbia”, stated Warren Spitz, President & CEO of UCS. “I would like to offer my thanks to Mark Yusishen for choosing us as White-Wood’s successor in this market. Our corporate strategy to grow in key markets continues across North America and we are very excited about this most recent opportunity.”
This is the third acquisition in the past 10 months for the UCS Forest Group, which recently acquired Reimer Hardwoods operations in Alberta and the Atlas Lumber Company in Los Angeles, California.
Upper Canada Forest Products has serviced the British Columbia market for over 20 years and operates from an 80,000 sf warehouse in Burnaby and a second facility in Kelowna. In a timely manner White-Wood’s operations will be integrated into Upper Canada’s facilities.
