NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa – Metrie Inc., North America's largest mouldings producer, is also the highest-ranked Canadian wood products company in the 2022 FDMC 300 published last month.
Metrie of Vancouver, BC, with estimated 2021 sales of more than $1 billion, placed No. 14 in FDMC’s annual ranking of the U.S. and Canadian wood products companies based on sales volume. The company jumped from No. 35 in the 2021 FDMC 300 powered by its December 2020 acquisition of Pacific Trim.
Metrie employs a total of 1,500 people at its plants in Surrey, BC; Calgary, and Edmonton, AB; Toronto, ON; Rocklin, CA; and Ferndale, WA. The company manufactures solid wood and composite mouldings, and window, door, and flooring components
Metrie surpassed Global Furniture Group, No. 15, of Downsview, ON, to grab the top spot of Canadian firms included in this year's FDMC 300. Global Furniture, which has a U.S. headquarters in Marlton, NJ, generated an estimated $1 billion in 2021 sales and employs 3,500 people. Its manufacturing operations total more than 3 million square feet to produce contract and RTA furniture, seating, and more for offices, hospitality, healthcare, and educational institutions.
Montreal-based Dorel, No. 17, is the third of three Canadian companies cracking the top 25 of the 2022 FDMC 300. The company makes residential, RTA and juvenile furniture, plus other products at its five plants in Canada and the U.S. Dorel’s sales totaled an estimated $907.3 million in 2020, and employs 1,500 people. Its divisions include Altra, Ameriwood, Cosco Home & Office, Dorel Asia, Dorel Home Products, Ridgewood, Carina, SystemBuild, and Notio Living.
