Happy Anniversary OFP

Celebrating 75 years of stability and growth within the BC Forest industry

Olympic Forest Products Ltd was founded in 1932 by Bert Welch (father of Bruce E. Welch) and several other family members.

Originally logging only on Vancouver Island, the company soon grew to include numerous coastal BC operations. Olympic Forest Products is now one of the largest independent forest management service providers on the coast.
