Throughout the stages of production, sawdust, bark, shavings and wood chips are used for a variety of applications.
We have state-of-the-art facilities managed by seasoned experts – that’s why we produce world-class softwood lumber.
Located in Chaudière-Appalaches directly on the Quebec-Maine border, our Saint-Pamphile sawmill employs between 180 and 200 people. Its annual production capacity is over 150 million board feet.
A flagship sawmill for Matériaux Blanchet, established in 1958, our Saint-Pamphile mill was completely rebuilt in 2020. Now equipped with a GradExpert classification system and a Gilbert planer, the mill is among the most modern in North America.
Our second modern sawmill is in Abitibi-Témiscamingue in northwestern Quebec and employs 180 people.
Strategically located in the land of black spruce, our Amos division gets its supplies mainly from Quebec’s public forest and private producers in Quebec and Ontario.
This mill has an annual production capacity of over 150 million board feet on three shifts.
Our recent investments of $55 M in our Amos and Saint-Pamphile mills makes them proudly stand out as the most modern planer mills in North America.
Both projects involved the construction of a 60,000 square-foot infrastructure, which houses a new planer and a state-of-the-art classification system.
Matériaux Blanchet continuously invests in sustainable development to maintain its strategic positioning in the markets. Making our industry even greener is our daily mission!
The modernization of our Amos and Saint-Pamphile mills also included a significant training component for our employees. The idea is to ensure that they keep pace with the technology and master the new machinery, which allows them to perform their daily tasks even more efficiently.
