San Group buys specialty sawmill in Port Alberni

San Group, a Surrey, B.C.-based forestry group, has purchased another mill in Port Alberni, B.C., expanding their operations on Vancouver Island.

A month ago, the company purchased the former Chalwood Forest Products mill in Port Alberni. The Chalwood mill had been shut down for more than a year, but San Group now has it operating as they continue to clean up the site, Alberni Valley News reports. Acquisition of the new mill means San Group can “literally take a tree from harvest to home,” says owner Kamal Sanghera.
