The operation is called Forwest, a joint venture of West Fraser and Forstar Trading of New West- minster. West Fraser will provide the wood and Forstar the expertise. in the venture which will manufac- ture window and door com- ponents from rough hemlock for export. “The enginecring has been done and the machinery is on or- der,” Forstar official Mike Thorpe said last week. He estimates the 15,00D square foot building and equipment will cost between. $1.5 million and $1.7 million. The. hemlock ‘will be supplied by West Fraser in return for For- star providing sawlogs for a mill ‘West Fraser owns in Smithers, Those sawlogs will come from asmail timber supply obtained by Forstar in the Houston area. The Forstar arrangement is part of a provincial government cffort to encourage the growth of value added wood products. Companies are encouraged to come up with value added proposals which are — then evaluated when the province sels up timber sales, Companies which receive the sales are allowed to trade wood as part of their plans. The joint venture has Forstar owning 51 per cent and West Fraser the remaining 49 per cent. The plant will be built on land owned by West Fraser adjacent to its Skeena Sawmills operation here, It should employ up to 30 people when running at full pro- duction. Thorpe said ihe joint venture is a perfect fit for bath companies. “We already have. a ‘five-year track record ina previous ven- ture,” he said. Thorpe said the plant will blend. in with another operated by. For-- star on the lower mainland. , “We market world wide so WE alrcady have customers. from our other operation | for when the plant comes on. stream.
