In 1984, Forwest Wood saw an opportunity to export British Columbia wood products to world markets. Taking advantage of the globalization opportunities, the Forwest Group evolved into a diverse, worldwide, stocking distributor of building materials for local, national and international customers.
The ability of the Forwest Group to continually improve all aspects of operations solidified the company's vision for the future. Strategic plans included broadening the group network through expanding product lines, continuously sourcing new marketing opportunities, and building stronger relationships and stronger partnerships.
Since inception, Forwest has created global networks within the building products industry. The established performance of the group within the building products community demonstrates its commitment to operating and expanding business alliances. These value-added relationships, whether developed in Asia, European Union, Middle East, South America, Canada or the USA, have created new channels for Forwest customers and stakeholders. Wherever building materials are available, the international business experience, protocol, expertise, and onsite inspection capabilities of Forwest are instrumental in the successful trading operations of the group.
