The Company is organized into four operating divisions: sawn timber products, plywood, merchandising and forestry. The sawn timber products segment produces and sells a range of structural and industrial sawn timber products. The plywood division manufactures and sells plywood products. The merchandising division buys and sells timber-related products on a wholesale basis. The forestry division owns plantations on which it grows pine and eucalyptus trees that are felled on a rotational basis and then sold.
