history
As a family owned and operated business, Marwood traces its roots back to the 1920s.
For over 80 years, the company has been a key player in the wood products business.
In March 2001, Marwood officially adopted its new corporate name. Prior to March 2001, the company was known as Atlantic Pressure Treating. With the introduction of several new non-pressure treated products and a growing business, a new corporate name and identity were required to prepare the company for growth and new markets.
The name Marwood was derived from our first product, wood produced for marine use.
Today and in the future, Marwood will continue to build on its history of providing great products and service.

Environment and
Sustainability
Keenly aware of the environment and the role forests play in the ecosystem, our focus is on maximizing the value of every tree that is harvested. Even wood fibre, dried and compressed, is used to produce ecologically friendly fuel pellets, horse bedding and cat litter. As a result, there is very little wastage in our manufacturing process.
A member of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI), Marwood helps to ensure that our natural resources will be protected for future generations. SFI® ensures that the end product comes from a well-managed forest.
Marwood is also at the forefront of maximizing the longevity of wood by pressure treating. Pressure treated wood remains structurally sound for decades, saving millions of trees from being harvested to replace decayed or insect infested wood.
Customer focused, innovative, ecologically aware and proactive in protecting the environment, Marwood is recognized as one of the leading companies in the forest products industry.
