What is Falcon Lumber?

Updated

Falcon Lumber is a Canadian hardwood and softwood wholesaler established in 1945, now marking eighty years in business. It supplies eastern white pine, red pine, industrial lumber, and kiln-dried North American hardwoods, and supports that supply with export container loading, custom milling, proprietary grading, and a U.S. reload centre. It is a wholesale and trade-oriented operation rather than a retail yard, so it fits buyers sourcing in commercial volumes—half loads, full loads, or containers—rather than someone looking for a few boards.

Company identity and history

  • Founded: 1945, which the company frames as eighty years as one of Canada's premier hardwood and softwood wholesalers.
  • Position in the chain: wholesaler, working through trusted suppliers and customers rather than selling direct to consumers.
  • Stated priorities: outstanding product quality, superior customer service, and respect for the natural environment.
  • Long-standing relationships: the site credits its suppliers and customers with making the eightieth year possible.

Supply partner: Ben Hokum and Sons

  • Locations: operations in Killaloe and Pembroke, Ontario.
  • Capacity: roughly 50 million board feet per year of mill operation, with 80 thousand feet of kiln capacity.
  • Specialty: described as the largest and most advanced eastern pine sawmill in Ontario, focused on eastern white pine, eastern red pine, and spruce.
  • Log sourcing: primarily the Ottawa Valley and Algonquin Park.

Who this fits

Falcon Lumber suits importers, distributors, manufacturers, and industrial buyers who need pine or kiln-dried hardwoods in commercial quantities and want milling, grading, or freight handled alongside the material. If you need small retail volumes, a local yard will usually be the faster route. If you need custom grading or remanufacturing on a pine order, the Hokum & Son relationship is the part of the offering to ask about first.

To start, use the site's quote request and specify species, grade, volume, destination, and whether you need milling or container loading, since those determine which partner handles the order.
