What are value-added wood products? Traditional Timber Non-Timber Products & Services Plants BioProducts BioMass • furniture • cabinets • millwork • EWPs • boards • mfd housing • converted papers • health care • personal care • foods • crafts • decorative • recreation • services • bio-fuels • bio-materials • bio-chemicals
X6 Primary Forest Industry Value-Added Wood Industry What makes something ‘value-added’? the more capital (technology) and labour used to process a raw material the more value is created

Ontario’s Wood Manufacturing Sector is…. • Large • Diverse • Export focused • Technically sophisticated • Expensive • Rudderless
Trends Industrial Markets
Top Strategic Industry Issues Source: Canadian Manufacturers Export Association
Trends Effecting Value-added Wood Markets • developing populations • disposable incomes • housing starts • renovation market • ‘greening’ wave • skilled labour shortages • Changing consumer tastes • Glut of wood world wide • U.S. protectionism – commodities
Trends in Value-Added Wood Source: Statistics Canada, 2002 ASM
Opportunities • Manufactured Housing • Building components - EWPs • Doors, Windows, Moldings, other millwork • Furniture • Cabinets – Kitchen, bath & storage
Existing Products Emerging Growth New Technologies Commodity Lumber EWPs and Bldg components Integrated Structural Systems $95 Hand-Crafted Timber Frame Log home $80 Std Precut, Panelized Construction Type $72 $55 Site built Single Family Per sq ft 1. Manufactured Housing The evolution of residential construction $31 Manufactured Home “ in 2006, one in seven American homes were ‘manufactured’”
… Manufactured Housing Woodbridge Report Population = 83 million Construction Sales = $239B EWP/Components = $800m Manufactured Housing = $300m Millwork = $150m
Manufactured Housing • Increasing export focus • e.g. Confederation Log Homes • But foreign markets don’t like dealing with Ontario companies, because they lack critical mass • Strategy to go after traditional domestic stick built market first?
2. EWP’sProduct Life Cycle Introductory Growth Maturity Decline Stage Stage Stage Stage 2nd/3rd Generation EWP’s 2nd Generation Wall Panels Species Segregated Softwood Lumber Composites Custom Orders Installed Sales New Laminate Technologies (fibre polymers) Eastern SPF MSR I-Joists PSL & LSL Eastern SPF FJ Commodity LVL Commodity OSB Glulam Parallam Commodity Eastern SPF framing lumber Variable quality Dimension lumber • Building components account for 14% of • total VA sales with 11% CAGR, but last • two years growth at 28%, again driven by • buoyant housing starts.
3. Millwork • Windows and doors account for 13% of total VA sales, with compound annual growth rate of 7%, but 16% in last 2 years, driven by high Canadian housing starts • However, window and door markets moving rapidly away from wood usage towards vinyl and steel respectively • Other millwork (moldings, stairs, flooring, etc.) = 22% of total, with a CAGR of 15%, and stable at 13% recent growth • Also, many of these products are moving away from solid wood towards FJ, MDF and composites
Millwork - Flooring • the solid wood flooring market is rapidly giving • way to engineered wood flooring Solid Engineered • one piece of solid wood can provide up to 6 • surfaces on an EWF • built on an composite substrate, EWF can go • straight onto concrete and doesn’t move like solid
4. Furniture • Furniture = 36% of total VA sales with CAGR of 12%, falling to 1% in last two years • Perfect storm for most of industry as retail markets convert to RTA and imports; quality and design still important but becoming more of a niche market • Also large anticipated boom in office furniture
5. Cabinets • Cabinets are a very regional market business unless standardized sizes • Cabinets = 15% of total VA with CAGR of 11% and reasonably strong recent growth = 9% • Cabinet demand will double in 10 years driven by new home construction and home renovations
