San Group, an independent forestry firm based in Langley, has struck a deal to buy an under-utilized sawmill on the Fraser River in Delta from larger competitor Interfor Corp., the companies have announced. The purchase price wasn’t disclosed by either company, but San Group will be acquiring Interfor’s Acorn mill, which primarily cuts specialty timbers for traditional Japanese home construction. The buyer intends to continue that work, while integrating mill output into its own value-added manufacturing. …For the San Group, its purchase of Acorn caps off $200 million of investment in the province since 2020, which saw the company buy one mill in Port Alberni on Vancouver Island and build a new facility there designed to cut smaller, second-growth trees. …The Sangheras said San Group will hire all of Acorn’s existing employees, and noted their historical connection to Interfor.
