Canfor Closes PinkWood Acquisition, Expands Western Canada Reach
Canfor Corporation finishes buying Calgary's PinkWood Ltd., adding Western Canada's biggest I-joist facility to its lumber portfolio.
Canfor Corporation just sealed the deal. The Vancouver-based lumber giant, trading on the TSX under CFP, confirmed it has completed its acquisition of PinkWood Ltd. — Western Canada's largest I-joist manufacturing facility, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta.
The deal was first announced on June 9, 2026, and closed in under a month. That's a clean, fast execution — a signal that due diligence was tight and both sides wanted this done. For Canfor, PinkWood isn't a random bolt-on. I-joists are engineered wood products used heavily in residential and commercial construction, and locking down the biggest facility in the region puts Canfor in a dominant position as builders keep demanding high-performance framing materials.

That kind of vertical and regional consolidation is exactly what a lumber company does when it wants pricing power and supply-chain control.
If you're watching CFP on the TSX, this move matters. Engineered wood products carry better margins than commodity lumber, and owning the largest I-joist shop in Western Canada isn't a small edge. Watch for how this plays into Canfor's next earnings commentary on production capacity and product mix. Continue reading at GlobalNewswire.
