ATCO Wood Products has evolved over the decades from its humble sawmilling roots to a cutting-edge manufacturer of specialized softwood veneer and other wood products. Rebecca Weatherford is the third-generation owner and president of ATCO. At the company’s helm as CEO is Rebecca’s husband, Scott Weatherford. …ATCO directly employs 70 and hires 50 full time contractors throughout mill maintenance, woodlands and rail operations. The plant produces some 125 MMsf (3/8-inch basis) of softwood veneer annually. …“With the economic and wood product market uncertainty, we are spending more time developing our strategy and long-term capital plan and will be more focused on analyzing new capital deployment while wood products markets remain unsettled,” says Scott. …“Still, the shrinking timber harvesting land base is threatening the ability of small, family-owned forestry businesses to be viable for the next generation,” explains Rebecca.
