MacMillan Bloedel Limited, sometimes referred to as "MacBlo", was a Canadian forestry company
119_1
headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was formed through the merger of three smaller
119_2
forestry companies in 1951 and 1959. Those were the Powell River Company, the Bloedel Stewart Welch
119_3
Company, and the H.R. MacMillan Company. It was bought by Weyerhaeuser of Federal Way, Washington
119_4
in 1999.
119_5
Powell River Company
119_6
In 1908 two American entrepreneurs, Dr. Dwight Brooks and Michael Scanlon, created a newsprint mill
119_7
at Powell River, northwest of Vancouver. The Powell River Company turned out the first roll of
119_8
newsprint manufactured in British Columbia in 1912. It soon became one of the world's largest
119_9
newsprint plants and today is credited with introducing the first self-dumping log barge to British
119_10
Columbia.
119_11
Bloedel, Stewart and Welch
119_12
In 1911 Julius Bloedel, a Seattle lawyer, along with his two partners, John Stewart and Patrick
119_13
Welch, began acquiring large blocks of Vancouver Island forests. Their Franklin River camp soon
119_14
became one of the world's largest logging operations. Here, in the 1930s, the Canadian industry saw
119_15
its first Lidgerwood steel spar yarder and chainsaw. In 1938, Bloedel, Stewart and Welch became the
119_16
first logging company in the province to plant seedlings in a logged-over area. Bloedel, Stewart
119_17
and Welch opened a large timber mill in Port Alberni. The company had large camps near Menzies Bay,
119_18
British Columbia, Comox and Myrtle Point, just south of Powell River. The company was headquartered
119_19
in Vancouver. Stewart and Welch were also partners in Foley, Welch and Stewart, who were prominent
119_20
in railway-building operations in the same period.
119_21
H.R. MacMillan Export Company
119_22
The last of the three pre-merger companies was the H.R. MacMillan Export Company, which was created
119_23
in 1919 by Harvey, or H.R. MacMillan, British Columbia's first Chief Forester. MacMillan
119_24
reportedly gained considerable experience in world lumbering during World War I. With his colleague
119_25
Whitford Julian VanDusen, another forester, MacMillan incorporated a company in 1919 to sell
119_26
British Columbia lumber products to foreign markets. In 1924, they established a shipping company
119_27
that would become one of the world's biggest charter companies. With the creation of Seaboard
119_28
Lumber by the other mill owners in British Columbia, there was a major threat to MacMillan, as
119_29
Seaboard was to export all the lumber from the companies that founded it leaving MacMillan without
119_30
the lumber needed to fulfill their orders. MacMillan responded by beginning to purchase mills and
119_31
creating the first truly integrated forestry company in British Columbia.
119_32
During World War II, MacMillan acquired numerous small mills and timber tenures on the south coast
119_33
of British Columbia.
119_34
Merger of 1951
119_35
In 1951 Bloedel, Stewart and Welch merged with H.R. MacMillan to form MacMillan Bloedel Limited.
119_36
The two companies had timber holdings side-by-side and there was a natural synergy from this
119_37
merger. Bloedel, Stewart and Welch held many timber resources and MacMillan was the first truly
119_38
integrated forestry company in British Columbia. The merger in 1951 created a company that would be
119_39
able to compete on the global scene.
119_40
Global expansion
119_41
Beginning in the 1960s, MacMillan Bloedel expanded across North America as well as to Europe and
119_42
the United Kingdom. At its peak, acquisitions and construction activities gave MacMillan Bloedel
119_43
worldwide assets of more than C$4 billion.
119_44
The MacBlo Building
119_45
The Brutalist MacMillan Bloedel Building located at Thurlow and Georgia Street in downtown
119_46
Vancouver was a highlight of the early architectural career of Arthur Erickson, who advocated the
119_47
use of concrete as "the new marble" and employed it in the building's stark design, which is often
119_48
compared locally to a concrete waffle. The building, completed in 1969, won the Massey Medal in
119_49
1970.
119_50
Blockade of 1993
119_51
In 1993, the MacMillan Bloedel company composed an agenda of expanding its logging into new areas
119_52
and refused to abandon its plans to clearcut a significant portion of the temperate rain forest
119_53
around Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, in spite of opposition from several
119_54
organizations. Environmentalists, together with private land owners and indigenous groups, launched
119_55
a blockade after discovering that MacMillan Bloedel was logging in one of the most pristine areas
119_56
around Clayoquot Sound — a clear violation of the recommendations made by top government-chosen
119_57
scientists. This logging, however, was approved by the Ministry of Forests and was within the Tree
119_58
Farm License (TFL) granted for that area to MacMillan Bloedel by the provincial government. The
119_59
Science Panel for Sustainable Forest Practices in Clayoquot Sound was formed after 850 people were
119_60
arrested for blockading MacMillan Bloedel's logging in Clayoquot in the summer of 1993. The Science
119_61
Panel made stringent recommendations which MacMillan Bloedel promised to abide by, a commitment
119_62
MacMillan Bloedel used to assure their international newsprint and phone directory paper customers
119_63
that they should keep buying from the Canadian logging giant. MacMillan Bloedel made a commitment
119_64
to phase out clearcutting and embrace the variable retention method of harvesting timber, but was
119_65
occasionally accused of falling short of the commitment.
119_66
Weyerhaeuser
119_67
In June 1999, Weyerhaeuser announced its intention to buy MacMillan Bloedel Limited of Canada for
119_68
stock valued at about US$2.45 billion. The merger made Weyerhaeuser, which at that time was already
119_69
the world's largest producer of softwood lumber and market pulp, a leader in packaging as well.
