Spearhead, a Nelson, BC-based family-owned timber fabricator, is investing $60 million in a new production facility housing a highly specialized glulam manufacturing line and advanced CNC machining technology — purpose-built to drive innovation and push possibilities in mass timber construction and advanced timber fabrication. With construction already underway, the new facility sits immediately adjacent to Spearhead’s existing operation just outside of Nelson, BC — a site the company has called home for almost 30 years. …The project team includes Leckie Studio as architect of record, Fast + Epp as engineer of record, and HR Pacific as general contractor. …Spearhead is creating over 60 new full time jobs in Nelson, taking the company’s headcount to over 120. The project has already received $7.5 million in provincial funding from the Manufacturing Jobs Fund, reflecting broader recognition of mass timber’s role in Canada’s forestry and construction future, with additional funding partnerships to be announced soon.
