L.L.G. (Poldi) Bentley
L.L.G. “Poldi” Bentley and his brother-in-law John G. Prentice found
great success in building a small mill on the banks of the Fraser River
in 1938. From this mill, they formed a plywood and veneer company called
Pacific Veneer that rapidly expanded after demand for their products
soared during World War II. It would eventually, through a number of
acquisitions, evolve into the company we today know as Canfor, Canadian
Forest Products. Possessing holdings in logging, saw mills, lumber
marketing, shipping and pulp and paper, it is now one of the largest
integrated forest products companies in Canada today.
Currently, Canfor employs thousands of British Columbians and is a
leader in forest management and environmental stewardship. L.L.G. (Poldi)
Bentley was inducted into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame in 1982. |
