Our Heritage



KCI_crop

It all begins with a tree.

Healthy forests have been our passion for over 140 years. In 1882, Herbert Irving and his son James started our lumber business in the small coastal community of Bouctouche on the Northumberland Strait of New Brunswick, Canada. J.D. Irving was an innovator. He invested in new methods and technology, improving productivity and service - a tradition that we carry on today.
