Distribution & Logistics

MDF
West Fraser ships approximately 250 MMSF ¾" to the North American and Asian markets annually. As MDF is very sensitive to transit damage, particular care is taken during shipment. The majority of shipments to North American markets are moved via rail in box cars, in highway vans or intermodal vans. Long length panels are shipped via flat deck trucks using special tarping techniques to ensure proper product protection. We use several reloads in the Western US. These reloads allow us to be a "just-in-time" supplier to our customers, while efficiently combining long haul rail shipment with local truck delivery.

West Fraser also ships MDF products to Asian markets. Due to the sensitive properties of MDF, we currently ship to export markets by container only. These shipments all move via the Port of Vancouver to customers in Korea, Taiwan, China, and Japan.
