Overview
Bill McRae, a legend and pioneer in the British Columbia Skeena Valley, originally built the sawmill here in 1960. In the next six decades, the mill went through three successive ownership transactions and major capital upgrades before being acquired by Roc Holdings Ltd. — the company that owns Skeena Sawmills — in July 2011.
Since then, Skeena Sawmills has invested more than $50 million in capital upgrades to the sawmill and launched the construction of Skeena Bioenergy’s wood pellet facility. By investing in new technology and innovation in every part of our process, we have proved to be focused on long-term success.
