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.

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.
