ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Mirax Group, a privately held, family-owned British Columbia company with deep roots in forestry, lumber manufacturing, value-added wood products, and diversified industrial operations, has acquired the former Errington Cedar Sawmill in Errington, BC.

This strategic acquisition reinforces Mirax Group’s commitment to investing in the sustainable growth of British Columbia’s forestry sector, preserving local jobs, and enhancing supply chain resilience for cedar and softwood products destined for global markets.

The Errington Cedar Sawmill, long recognized for its legacy in processing premium cedar products for domestic and international customers — faced closure in recent years following industry challenges. With the transaction now complete, Mirax Group will operate the facility as the Vancoast Sawmill division, and position the site as a cornerstone in its expanding coastal operations. 

“Our acquisition of the Errington sawmill, which will operate as the Vancoast Sawmill division, represents another important step in Mirax Group’s vision to strengthen and diversify our forestry footprint in British Columbia,” said Jas Binning, CEO, Mirax Group. “We see incredible value in this facility’s heritage, and its potential to produce high-quality cedar and specialty softwood products. This aligns with our mission of supporting local economies, preserving forestry work in rural communities, and contributing to long-term sustainable forest sector growth.”

The reopening of the Errington mill is expected to support direct and indirect employment in the region while expanding Mirax Group’s capacity to serve existing and new markets worldwide. The company also plans to evaluate investments in modernized milling technology and value-added processing to enhance product diversity and competitiveness.
