ABOUT STARRFOREST

Starrforest roots run deep

StarrForest gets its name from “STARR” (Société des technologies appliquées en ressources renouvelables). From our very beginnings, our mission has been to develop and market products required by our customers in various market arenas. Surrounded by a solid network of business partners, we now offer many wood products.

A legacy built on generations of expertise in the timber industry

OUR HISTORY

Suzie1000x1000-1000x700

1997

In 1997, Suzanne Auclair, raised from childhood in an entrepreneurial environment, created “STARR Inc.” Société des Technologies Appliquées en Ressources Renouvelables.

1999

In 1999, Christian Perron joined up with Suzanne and they reinvented the solid wood panel; the MFC panel is made up of 100% solid wood veneered to yield an excellent added value product.

2004

StarrForest comes on the scene and the founders make an agreement with a Finnish company to distribute their blockboard panel within Canada, a panel with the same characteristics as the STARR-MFC panel. In the pursuit of its activities, StarrForest also added the Russian birch veneer panel and other laminated wood products to its offerings.

2014

STARRFOREST reinvented the jointed and glue laminated wood (glulam) plank for use by the scaffolding industry. Then the company added the glue-laminated post, an innovative product imported from Europe.
