Provenance |
MacMillan Bloedel Limited was a Canadian forestry company with headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1951 Bloedel, Stewart and Welch merged with H.R. MacMillan to form MacMillan Bloedel Limited. Bloedel, Stewart and Welch held many timber resources and MacMillan was the first truly integrated forestry company in British Columbia. The two companies had timber holdings side-by-side and there was a natural synergy from this merger. In 1959 Macmillan Bloedel merged with a third company, Powell River Limited. MacBlo was purchased by Weyerhaeuser in 1999. |
