Oliver Lumber was founded in 1872 by former mayor of Toronto, Joseph Oliver. The original Oliver Lumber yard was located on Spadina Avenue in Toronto and was the first wholesale distribution warehouse for specialty hardwoods and softwoods in the city. Oliver Lumber quickly became the largest lumber company of its kind in Canada, serving customers across North America.
Today, Oliver Lumber is located west of Toronto on highway 401 in Campbellville (ON) and stocks over 15 million board feet of top quality domestic and exotic hardwoods, softwoods, and panel products. The Oliver Lumber mills, drying facilities and distribution centre provide its customers with an extensive range of top quality lumber and panel products – with reliable just-in-time service.
