We’re proud to announce a new specialized glulam manufacturing facility at Spearhead.
The $60 million expansion will serve the full range of our work — from the most technically advanced freeform structures to high-end residential and commercial builds.
We've partnered with Ledinek Engineering to deliver a first-of-its-kind glulam line that will produce zero VOC softwood, mixed-species, and hardwood glulam in straight, curved, and double-curved layups, up to 80 feet in length. We've also selected Hundegger to deliver advanced CNC machining platforms, expanding on our existing machining depth.
Construction is underway with the building's foundation nearing completion, and installation and commissioning of the laminating and machining equipment will begin this summer.
We're expanding our capacity and evolving our capabilities to push the possibilities of timber construction — let's amplify and execute your most ambitious projects.

“Spearhead’s expansion is a powerful example of what happens when innovation, skilled workers, and B.C. wood come together. Their new $60‑million facility will help anchor B.C. as a global leader in mass timber, while creating more than 60 new, good-paying jobs in the Kootenays. It is an important focus of our Look West strategy, which sets a 10-year target of tripling the amount of B.C. wood used in construction to support forward-looking manufacturers, like Spearhead, who are strengthening local supply chains, adding value to our forest sector, and building a cleaner, more sustainable economy for people across B.C.”
