Our Story

The DOMAN family name has proudly been in the lumber industry for over 100 years now, starting off in logging on the West Coast and, through the years, has grown steadily through investment in the industry. We have been in sawmilling and trucking since the 1950s, remanufacturing since the 1970s and our first lumber treating plant came over 30 years ago in the 1980s. We now proudly own numerous treating plants, along with many other lumber and forest products operations across North America.
