Oregon Canadian Forest Products

What Oregon Canadian Forest Products does

Oregon-Canadian Forest Products (OCFP) is a third-generation, family-owned specialty softwood lumber remanufacturer headquartered in North Plains, Oregon, founded in 1977 by Wayne Holm. The company supplies four Pacific Northwest species — Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Western Hemlock, and Alaskan Yellow Cedar — in roughsawn, S2S, S4S, and custom-milled profiles, with precision milling capabilities for custom planing, moulding, resawing, pattern matching, and tight-tolerance runs. Every board is inspected prior to shipment, and OCFP states that its selection standards exceed WCLIB and WWPA minimum grading requirements, positioning the mill for architectural and high-spec commercial applications rather than commodity lumber channels.

OCFP sells exclusively through direct B2B channels to architects, builders, contractors, and distributors across North America, with no retail storefront other than a $15-per-load wood pile off-cuts program at the North Plains facility. Pricing is quote-based and varies by species, grade, grain orientation, profile, and volume; the company distributes line cards and product specification sheets as downloadable resources and supports customer engagement through phone, website contact form, and a sales team led by a Sales Manager and field sales representatives. Marketing supplements direct sales with content (blog, species guides) and organic social presence on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Leadership remains in the founding family, with Mike Holm as Owner & CEO, Kelly Short as Owner, and Lauren Holm as Director of Marketing & Organizational Strategy, alongside a CFO, VP of Operations, and full operational and administrative functions typical of a mid-market industrial firm. The company has no external institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds, and operates from a single mill with 51–100 employees.
