As one of British Columbia’s premier environmentally friendly cedar suppliers and producers of customized value-added wood products. PowerWood is focused on discovering the finest of British Columbia’s fibre resources, Western Red Cedar and Alaskan Yellow Cedar, and turning these beautiful woods into specialty building products that will last a century and catch people’s attention worldwide.
OUR CEDAR PRODUCTS
Working primarily with Western Red Cedar and Alaskan Yellow Cedar, PowerWood sources dimensional lumber from major sawmills and small, family-owned mills across B.C. Material comes from woodlots, recovery operations such as blow-down lumber or salvaged logs, open market custom-cutters, publicly traded large companies and elsewhere.
Since 1995, PowerWood has built a substantial business based on relationships — treating our products as a service — and a passion for beautifying B.C.’s substantial wood resources. The result has been some of the finest value-added Western Red Cedar and Alaskan Yellow Cedar products in the world.

PowerWood has grown from a one-person company started in 1995 to over 40 employees at our new remanufacturing facility in Agassiz, B.C., which is set up to produce a combination of specialty and commodity products and handle the entire process from raw material to finished products.
About Us
The value-added wood industry in B.C. represents not just an investment in creating jobs and having some monetary gains, but it’s also an investment in people. The largest added value in a value-added enterprise is the investment in people.
As cedar suppliers, at PowerWood, our passion for turning B.C.’s Western Red Cedar and Alaskan Yellow Cedar into products that look spectacular and last for 100 years resonates from the top to the bottom of the company. We encourage everyone to grow as an individual and as a professional, even if it takes them beyond PowerWood. We want people in the industry to know that this is a place to grow and learn.
