Mills

Over the past 20 years, Kruger has become one of eastern Canada's major lumber producers. Residual wood chips from sawmills are the main source of fiber supply for the majority of Kruger pulp and paper mills. This close link between paper mills and sawmills allows for the optimal utilization of each harvested tree .

Kruger sawmills produce a wide range of rough, dressed dry or green lumber products for the construction industry.

Kruger first became involved in the lumber sector in 1987, when it acquired an interest in Gérard Crête & Fils. Through subsequent acquisitions and the modernization of its sawmills Kruger became a leading producer of lumber in the North American and international markets.

Kruger’s main goal is to ensure customer satisfaction, which means producing top-quality lumber while respecting the environment.
