Norbord Europe joins West Fraser

Norbord Europe has become part of the West Fraser organisation – a global manufacturer of engineered wood-based panel products.

Whilst the Norbord name is being phased out, the company’s existing brands – such as SterlingOSB Zero, CaberFloor and CaberWood MDF – will remain under the new corporate ownership of West Fraser. In addition, it is said to be business as usual at the three UK plants – in Cowie and Inverness, Scotland; and South Molton, Devon – with no change in personnel. 

David Connacher, Marketing Manager, comments: “We are delighted to be working within the West Fraser family. It gives us the opportunity to continue growing, developing and maximising our European business as we have been doing for many years. It is very much business as usual and our customer-facing teams are communicating this positive message to our key partners.”   

West Fraser is a diversified wood products company with more than 60 facilities in Canada, the United States and Europe.  From responsibly-sourced and sustainably- managed forest resources, West Fraser produces lumber, engineered wood (OSB, LVL, MDF, plywood, particleboard), and other products including pulp, newsprint, wood chips and renewable energy.  West Fraser’s products are used in construction, repair and remodelling, industrial applications, papers, tissue and box materials.
