Suki and Kamal Sanghera

PORT ALBERNI, BC – For decades, government and labour have bemoaned the absence of significant secondary wood manufacturing companies in British Columbia. The San Group is starting to turn the tables on this highly-debated dialogue, as their value-added wood products using an assortment of BC fiber are being sold as finished products throughout the world – as well as in their home province. “We have the recipe,” states Chief Executive Officer Kamal Sanghera. “We have the practical working study right here. . .not in a forecast, in real time. It’s working, it’s real money, and it’s creating jobs and eliminating greenhouse gases and preserving the life of our natural resources.” President Suki Sanghera, Kamal’s brother, adds… “We have innovated and constructed a network of integrated manufacturing units to create these products so that our wood product never travels over a distance of 7 kilometres from log manufactured to finished product.” …Kamal says there are three things that don’t exist in the brothers’ vocabulary: Can’t do it, Impossible and Tomorrow.
