What Services Does Falcon Lumber Provide Beyond Lumber Supply?

Falcon Lumber is a Canadian hardwood and softwood wholesaler established in 1945, and beyond supplying lumber it offers four named services: export container loading and freight solutions, remanufacturing/custom milling and profiling, proprietary (custom) grading, and access to a reload centre in Michigan. These services are aimed at buyers who need lumber moved internationally, cut or shaped to a specification, graded to a non-standard rule, or distributed into the U.S. Midwest. If you only need standard lumber products shipped to you, these services may not apply.

Export Container Loading and Freight Solutions

Falcon Lumber works with established freight forwarding companies to arrange transport. According to the company, this covers safe and reliable transport around the world.

• What it is: container loading plus freight coordination through partner forwarders.
• Who it suits: buyers shipping North American hardwood or softwood to overseas markets, or anyone who needs the export logistics handled rather than arranging their own forwarder.
• What to confirm with Falcon Lumber: which ports and incoterms the partner forwarders cover, and whether loading is done at the mill or at a consolidation point.

Remanufacturing, Custom Milling and Profiling

These services are provided through the Hokum & Son Pembroke division, which Falcon Lumber names as the source for remanufacturing and custom milling.

• What it is: reworking lumber after initial production — cutting to size, milling to a profile, or producing a shaped product.
• Who it suits: buyers who need a finished or semi-finished profile rather than standard boards, such as flooring, siding, moulding or other profiled components.
• What to confirm: the specific profiles and tolerances available, minimum volumes, and lead times from the Pembroke operation.

Proprietary Grading

Falcon Lumber offers proprietary or custom grading in white pine, red pine, and most other species it has access to.

• What it is: grading lumber to a customer-specific or non-standard rule instead of a published grade.
• Who it suits: buyers whose end use doesn't match standard grade definitions — for example, a manufacturer that needs a consistent appearance or structural characteristic that standard grades don't isolate.
• What to confirm: the exact grading criteria you want, how they will be documented, and which species can be graded to your rule.

Reload Centre in Michigan

Falcon Lumber has partnered with a reload centre in Michigan. This lets it serve Michigan, Indiana and Ohio with industrial products for various markets.

• What it is: a transload/reload point that shortens the final delivery leg into the U.S. Midwest.
• Who it suits: industrial lumber buyers in Michigan, Indiana or Ohio who want domestic-style delivery rather than a cross-border shipment from Canada.
• What to confirm: which industrial products are stocked or staged there, and whether the reload centre handles your required volumes and delivery schedule.
