Three Generations of Progress : A History of the Company and the People Who Built it.

It began as a modest woodmill situated in the outskirts of Montréal, Canada. A single man's attempt to rebuild a career and a company lost to Europe during the early days of the Second World War. It would grow to become one of the world's most respected wood industry companies.

For generations, The GWV Group has worked to become one of the great, global suppliers of quality woods for the international marketplace.

With offices and manufacturing facilities strategically located in every key, geographical area of the globe, the GWV Group maintains an uninterrupted link between demand and supply.

An unrivalled source of experience, knowledge, quality and delivery, GWV provides a single, uncompromising standard of quality for woods and forestry services to a diverse market of people and organisations who work with wood.

It began as one man's vision. One man's determination. The work of founder, Isidor Elefant continues to thrive in an organisation which has grown from a handful of workers and a small veneer mill situated at Longueuil, Québec, Canada, to a multi-dimensional corporation with manufacturing facilities and marketing offices across the Globe.

Now, more than a half-century after its founding, the GWV Group is recognised around the world as an innovative leader in world-class veneers, wood industry technologies, strategic forestry maintenance, conservation, and outstanding hardwood logs and lumber.
