Canfor Pulp Products has announced the appointment of Stephen Mackie as its new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective November 1, 2024.

This decision was revealed by John Baird, Chairman of the Board of Directors, who expressed confidence in Mackie’s ability to lead the company through evolving industry challenges.

"With almost twenty years at Canfor and 30 years in the forest products industry, Stephen is a proven executive with an extensive background in operations," said Baird. "We are very pleased that Stephen has agreed to take on this important role, and we believe that his in-depth knowledge of the fibre dynamics in BC make him particularly well positioned to lead Canfor Pulp at this time."

Mackie will continue to serve as Executive Vice President of North American Operations at Canfor Corporation, bringing his expertise to both roles. His extensive operational background is seen as a key asset as Canfor Pulp aims to strengthen its position as a global supplier of pulp and paper products.

With operations in British Columbia’s northern interior, Canfor Pulp produces 780,000 tonnes of Premium Reinforcing Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp and 140,000 tonnes of kraft paper annually. The company is a key player in the global pulp market, and its shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CFX.
