Message
from the CEO
Brian Hawrysh, CEO
It
is becoming increasingly rare that I get a chance participate
in our marketing programs so I was looking forward to this
opportunity to accompany representatives from five member
companies to Vietnam.What an eye-opener… the energy and
commercial drive of the people, the positive business climate
and a genuine interest on their part in doing business with
Canadians was impressive. I have visited a number of new and
emerging markets in recent years, but rarely have I been to
one that I felt held so much promise.
Our
attention was focused on Vietnam’s furniture sector that,
over the past 10 years, has expanded its’ sales from
$US 293 million to a predicted $US 2.5 billion for 2007. The
vast majority of the finished furniture is shipped to North
America. This has made Vietnam the fourth largest Southeast
Asian exporter of wood products. At a value of $365 million
in total lumber imports, the Vietnamese market is about a
quarter the size of the Chinese market but growing faster.
The largest supplier of sawn softwoods to this market, New
Zealand, saw exports of Radiatta Pine jump from $20 million
to $44 million in one year from 2005 to 2006. It is expect
that at the current rate, shipments from New Zealand will
reach $65 million by the end of this year.
Our one-week program included three days of mill visits. The
plants we visited showed the full gamut of possibilities,
from very modern, efficient facilities
employing over 800 workers, to somewhat dated former state
owed facilities employing less than 200. Our hosts received
our group warmly, all showed genuine interest in learning
more about the products that Canadian suppliers could provide.
In
addition to the plant tours, our group participated in a half-day
seminar that brought together 75 qualified representatives
from Vietnam’s furniture and the local lumber wholesale
distributors who supply them. The representatives from our
BC companies also spent two days at furniture and furniture
supply tradeshow that provided them with contacts to a broader
cross section of potential customers. In addition, there were
a number of private meetings scheduled with representatives
of Vietnam’s leading furniture manufacturers Association
and the providers of shipping and transportation services.
The
Vietnamese furniture sector is almost totally dependent on
imported wood, since its own forests have insufficient timber
to provide the required lumber volumes. As result, our interest
in supplying the Vietnamese based furniture manufacturers
with competitive alternatives to New Zealand and European
and giftware manufacturers was well received.
The
response was so well received, that most of the companeis
attending the mission wrote trial orders. I continue to be
impressed just how well the basic BC Wood model works... Arrange
to get our companies inot the market, give them solid market
intelligence, provide qualified buyers with some background
on the opportunities that exist in BC, create a venue where
buyers and sellers can meet, then just get out of the way...It
really does work!
A
complete report on our Vietnam mission will be available on
the BC Wood website in a matter of weeks. If, in the meantime,
you have any questions regarding the opportunities in Vietnam,
please do not hesitate to contact me directly at bhawrysh@bcwood.com
or 604-882-7100.
European
Market Report
Ludger Spohr
Looking
at all the feedback I have received from our membership, as
well as from my European Buyers, I must say it’s a good
thing that we had the GBM again this year!
You
may know that there was a point when we were considering delivering
the program every two years.
More
proof that it was the right thing to do is the fact that many
of you asked me where some of the Buyers from the past years
were and why they did not show up this year. To me, this indicates
that the GBM has become a real meeting point, an established
event for international buyers and BC manufacturers to meet.Our
goal is to bring you new buyers and opportunities. There are
always some returning faces, there will always be new ones,
too.
Our
Fall European Program is a great opportunity to follow up
some of those new contacts made in Whistler. Branchentag in
Germany is a great Reman show and we’ve had the opportunity
to meet some of the buyers at the GBM; Interbuild in Birmingham
is the biggest housing show in the UK and certainly, Planexpo
in Ireland; the biggest Irish housing show, where we have
maintained a steady presence for the past 5 years. The Irish
market seems relatively small (population 4 million), but
offers good potential - especially in the non-residential
sector and secondary residences on the coast.
On
another note, don’t be confused by international press
claims that the healthy growth of the European economy is
over. We have certainly seen some overreactions in purchasing
Canadian construction lumber, especially in the UK during
the first quarter of the year, (which made the following quarters
look rather weak), but growth is steady and the construction
sector is picking up, along with consumption rates.
If
you hope to grow your business or create some new opportunities
in the European marketplace, please let us know so we can
develop new programs, look for potential new trade events
and shows, or even organize one-on-one meetings for you! I
can be reached at lspohr@bcwood.com.
New
Western US Representation
Dave Farley
We
would like you to welcome Douglas Auer and Linda Carr-Auer,
who have joined BC Wood as our in-market representatives,
servicing the western United States. Many of you had an opportunity
to meet Doug and Linda at the GBM, or during their first tour
of member companies in September.
Located
in Northern California in the Lake Tahoe area, they have built
an extensive database of industry contacts through their many
years in construction, real estate development and sales and
marketing. This database extends through all sectors of the
wood industry and throughout the western States. With high
levels of communication skills and long time connections,
they both possess the means to help promote the products of
BC Wood member companies. Having been active in this industry
for many years, they will be a valuable information asset,
linking member’s questions to answers regarding working
within the western U.S.
They will be distributing a monthly newsletter highlighting
member companies and their products to several hundred contacts,
covering all industry sectors. They will be participating
in several trade shows throughout the States, as well as making
personal visits to promote and make BC Wood member connections
with Builders, Developers, Architects, Suppliers, Specifiers
and Designers, and assisting with the development of new business
relationships.
Douglas
and Linda are looking forward to meeting and touring many
member companies in the next few months and welcome any and
all correspondence regarding your interests and opportunities
in the western United States.

Korea
Market Update
Gary
Tattrie
August
& September were busy months. My thanks to the companies
that participated in the delegation tours.
Korean
Delegation
In late August we hosted a delegation of 10 Korean Home builders
for a day and toured with BC Wood member companies manufacturing
millwork and other finished wood products. The group included
two conglomerates known as “Chaebol”: Samjung Construction
and Best House Korea (BHK) which are the two largest wood
frame builders in Korea.
Samjung
Construction, which is a member of the famous Korea Housing
Association, is currently developing a gated retirement community
and golf course, which will include 159 units of high-end
luxurious single detached wood frame homes that will all need
high quality doors & windows. They show the project on
their website (called KINGSWOOD) www.samjungcon.co.kr/eng/business/06_01.asp
which they are promoting as introducing the “Americanized
master-plan for the first time in Korea.” It will
also include 100 units of common housing (condo/apartments).
BHK
(Better Homes Korea) is currently developing 22 units of multi-million
dollar wood frame homes and are further planning to develop
over 200 units of single and multi family wood frame homes
next year.
Both
of these companies expressed an interest in purchasing high
quality doors & windows from BC, and were also looking
at the design & style of wooden house construction in
our part of the world.

Getting
in Front of Architects and Designers
Randi
Walker
At
GBM 2007, participating members had an opportunity to educate
and inform North American registered architects and designers
about their products. The architects had the benefit of earning
"Learning Units" as part of their necessary professional
development. Six presentations were made by members to the
participating architects and designers on Thursday, September
13th. Presenters included: Judson Beaumont – Straightline
Design, Mike Pidlisecky – Woodtone Building Products,
Alf Butterfield – TF Sawmill, Art Paul – Permanent
Pole, Ron McDougall - Spearhead Timberworks, John Matak –
Stilewood International and Richard Kaufmann – Snowcap
Lumber.
BC
Wood became a special one-time "registered provider"
for the purposes of enhancing our new Architects Program and
offering an additional incentive to gain participation of this
important decision making group at the GBM.
Members
also had the opportunity to hear Maura Gatensby, Director
of Professional Development for AIBC, talk about how you can
- and why you should become a "registered provider".
(A quick perusal of their current providers indicates they
are starved for information on building with wood and finishing
with wood products)!
Prior
to the GBM, John Matak from Stilewood International, recognized
that he wanted to get in front of this important community
on a regular basis, and the best way to open those doors was
to become a registered provider and develop an educational
program of interest. John has sat in on numerous presentations
delivered to architects, both here and in the US, and realized
"he could do that"! The impression from most companies
is that it is difficult to attain the registered provider
status and that it may be expensive.
 Well,
neither case is true, as John came to find out in short order.
We talked to John about the process he went through and the
benefits he hopes to derive from the exercise.
It
started with a call to the AIBC office where he was directed
to talk to Catherine Bolter, Professional Development Coordinator.
He found out from Catherine that he would need a presentation
that was of educational value - not a direct advertisement
for the company, but more generic in nature. After a brief
discussion about the program, she directed him to their website
here
where he found and downloaded all the information and guidelines
needed to become a registered provider.
It
took John about one hour to review the forms and complete
the necessary ones, once he determined that he would be a
"core" provider. He faxed these into the AIBC office
and set up a meeting to review the content of his presentation
(he already had many "canned" presentations that
he uses on a regular basis, teaching everyone from new employees
to builders, on the fundamentals of doors). Most companies
have something like this and with a bit of tweaking, it can
be made generic enough to use as an educational tool for the
Architectural community.
The
next day, John had his approval. He has already set-up future
presentations to local architect firms. It is common practice
for these firms to take these presentations in-house in the
companies’ boardroom over lunch! This is a quick, easy
and affordable way to introduce yourself to this important
decision making community!
We
encourage anyone who counts architects as important customers,
to take a look at this opportunity. It may be the most effective
hour of your company’s time.

BC
Wood /RONA Olympic Program Update
Roy
Manion
Our
Olympic Program is progressing. To date, members have either
quoted or supplied product for the following Olympic and Olympic
related venues:
•
BC Canada Pavilion in Beijing for the Beijing 2008 Olympics
• 2010 Commerce Centre (Robson Square)
• Whistler’s Athlete’s Village
• Willoughby Events & Recreation Centre (Langley)
This
is just the beginning. Members can expect significantly more
activity in the weeks and months to come with the above venues,
those in progress and/or getting approval. If you haven’t
heard from us on the Olympic venues, stay tuned as things
are heating up.
A
new development is that we have just received confirmation
from VANOC that they will be actively filming many communities
throughout BC. Filming will be done in HD and the footage
will be used throughout the Olympic broadcasts. The exciting
thing about this program is that VANOC is very receptive to
also filming manufacturers (who are supplying product to Olympic
venues), while making the product. VANOC is especially receptive
to filming product that has uniqueness, to it or a story behind
it. While filming will be done in such a manner for it not
to be a blatant commercial for any company, those members
who will be supplying products to Olympic venues will have
the opportunity to have their product filmed in various stages
of production, through to installation.
In
our last newsletter, we advised that we had met with many
companies in the Lower Mainland to further explain the program
as well as give the members the opportunity to meet with RONA.
We also stated that we would be meeting with companies outside
the Lower Mainland and plans are now underway for presentations
to be held on Vancouver Island, in the Okanagan and in the
Interior beginning mid November. Announcements regarding time
and locations will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks.
Again,
the keys to successfully participating in the Olympic program
are:
•
Quick Response – within 48 hours
• Pricing must be competitive
• Product must be of good quality
• Delivery must be complete and on time
• Last but not least, as this is a joint RONA / BC Wood
program, all pricing and invoicing must go through RONA.
These
points will now be emphasized with each inquiry to insure
those quoting are fully aware of the procedure.
For
additional information please contact me, Roy Manion, at BC
Wood’s office at 604-882-7100 or by e-mail me at rmanion@bcwood.com

Global
Buyers Mission 2007
Randi Walker
2007
Global Buyers Mission Partners Report
We
are happy to report that BC Wood’s 4th annual Global
Buyers Mission was yet another great success for Canada’s
value-added wood products industry. The success of the GBM
is due to the coordinated support and continued partnership
with our government organizations: Western Economic Diversification,
Natural Resources Canada Wood Export Program, Forestry Innovation
Investment Ltd., Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation,
Export Development Canada and Industry Canada, and our new
corporate sponsor, RONA.
This
year’s GBM was bigger than ever, attracting 570 participants,
including 204 company representatives; 171 international buyers;
71 North American Architects, Designers, Builders and Developers;
29 Partner representatives; and 42 staff, volunteers and interpreters.
Exhibit space was sold out well in advance, with 84 participating
Canadian companies. Over $21 million in new sales are estimated
in the next 12 months, from 92% of exhibitors responding to
date.
International
buyers came from: China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Pakistan,
Ireland, Liechtenstein, Croatia, Belgium, Germany, Hungary,
Turkey, Mexico, and the United States.
The
Honourable Rich Coleman, BC’s Minister of Forests and
Range and Mr. Edward Fast, MP Abbotsford and federal government
representative, officially opened the Global Buyers Mission
on Friday morning. Mr. Stephen Poloz, VP and Chief Economist,
Export Development Canada addressed the BC Wood members at
their AGM on Thursday.
Manufacturers
came from across Canada to attend, representing Prince Edward
Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Alberta
and British Columbia, making this a truly Pan-Canadian event.
Manufacturers were given the opportunity to develop new export
markets, as well as source new fibre suppliers and potential
partnerships with other Canadian companies.
Buyer
groups from Mexico, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Pakistan
and Europe participated in extended mission programs that
toured production facilities, attended sustainable forestry
practice presentations and viewed applications of value-added
wood products at construction sites around British Columbia.
All
buyers surveyed to date expect to purchase Canadian wood products
within the next year.
A
new and exciting element was added to the GBM this year, attracting
qualified architects and designers from across North America.
Seminars delivered by BC Wood members, and tours led by local
architects of Whistler building sites allowed the participants
to gain valuable "learning-units", as part of their
on-going professional development requirements. It was also
an excellent environment to introduce these important decision
makers to many suppliers of wood products available in "their
own backyard". Feedback has been extremely positive and
we have plans to expand this program for the next GBM.
2008
Global Buyers Mission
Dates
for next year’s GBM are September 11 to 13, 2008 at the
Whistler Conference Centre and we will be sending our the
pre-registration forms very soon to all 2007 participants.
Preparations
for the 2008 GBM are already underway and we appreciate your
feedback and comments on how to make next year’s event
an even greater success.
The
GBM continues to be a "win-win" for all involved:
our Partners realize an excellent return on their investment;
the Canadian wood producers enjoy a cost effective venue to
showcase their products and diversify their markets; and international
buyers have the opportunity to source new products and find
new suppliers.

Japan
Market Update
Jim Ivanoff
Japanese
Government Slams Building Industry
Only
in Japan does the economy continue chugging despite all of
the troubles in the US. In fact, some officials from the Bank
of Japan are more worried about the Japanese economy overheating
rather than slowing down. This is keeping both the government
and industry happy. This upturn is leading to growing housing
starts and increasing land prices in major urban centres.
For the first time in years, the construction industry can
see the light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, that
light was a freight train better known as the amended Building
Standards Law that was brought into effect June 20th. The
industry is very unhappy now.
The
wreckage?
Housing
starts were down 23% in July and 43% in August. Why? As always
the government’s intentions were good. A few years ago
a rouge architect by the name of Aneha decided he could help
save his clients a few yen by reducing the amount of rebar
used in high-rises. Not a great idea in the most earthquake
prone country in the world. After this was uncovered, condominium
owners were left with large bills for seismic upgrades or,
in some cases, the complete demolition and reconstruction
of entire buildings. Aneha went to jail, his wife committed
suicide, and the government said they would never allow this
to happen again.
While
everyone from consumers to honest builders wanted the government
to act, what they didn’t anticipate was total incompetence
in how these new regulations would be brought into effect.
Canadian companies involved in F**** testing when those regulations
were first introduced a few years ago, probably won’t
be surprised though. The government essentially brought in
a document heavy, ironclad building permit application process
complete with severe penalties for any t’s not crossed.
Loopholes? No way. Work arounds? Not a chance. Want to make
revisions after you submitted the application? Forget it.
An application that used to be made up of a file folder of
paperwork now requires a 3-inch binder. And that’s the
good part.
The
biggest problem has been that the designated agencies in charge
of receiving and processing building permits don’t fully
understand the new regulations and what they mean. With the
threat of major penalties, including jail time, for anyone
who doesn’t follow the rules, these agencies have simply
been refusing to accept applications. That’s right, these
agencies are not turning down poor or weak applications, in
many cases they are simply refusing to accept any until they
get clarification on the details. As a result, a building
permit that used to be processed in a matter of days is now
taking weeks or months. There are backlogs everywhere. Now
you can appreciate how starts can fall 45% in a strong housing
market. Just let the government body slam it with poorly thought-out
regulations.
As
with the F**** system, the industry will adapt to these new
regulations and delays in issuing building permits will eventually
disappear. How long that will take is anybody’s guess,
but most industry people aren’t expecting any relief
until the New Year. However, after August’s stunning
decline, construction industry representatives went to the
new federal cabinet minister and made a plea for immediate
help. As housing starts affects everything from furniture
sales to even new car sales in Japan, the government will
be under immense pressure to fix the backlog ASAP before the
economy at large is adversely affected.
No
matter how quickly remedies are brought in, bankruptcies among
small builders across Japan are a given. There are a lot of
companies that have been just holding on for many years and
this might be their breaking point. A conspiracy theorist
may even suggest that the government’s policies were
a deliberate attempt to weed out these weak players (due to
the overcapacity in the system, cut-throat competition has
weakened even some of the stronger players). Either way, cash-flow
problems will force out many of these companies as well as
some of the building materials distributors that were supplying
them. On the bright side, a stronger, more profitable industry
should emerge in the aftermath.
Speaking
to one mid-sized distributor recently, the general manager
told me that his company is seizing this situation as an opportunity
to enter new product lines and take over weak competitors’
businesses. “Right now we have to do it for the sake
of our own company’s survival, but this will make us
stronger in the long-term.” This manager backed up his
words by asking for quotes on several new products during
that meeting.
While
things look bleak now, the next couple of months should see
a resurgence in the Japanese housing sector. With the economy’s
continued strength and the echo-boomer generation entering
its home buying years, there should be significant pent up
demand to propel the industry once the building permit issues
are worked through. Also, Japanese consumers should be able
to feel a new sense of confidence now that they know the homes
they are buying will be not be financial disasters in the
waiting (since the Aneha scandal, many people have been saying
that it makes more financial sense to rent rather than buy).
Additionally, a stronger building industry no longer obsessed
with competing solely on price will be waiting to receive
these buyers. BC Wood members should also be looking at how
they too can take advantage of this situation.
Nikkei Architectural & Construction Materials Show 2008
While
the BC Wood Japan Office is in the midst of getting ready
for the Japan Home Show, we are also thinking ahead to the
Nikkei Show in March. That show is the largest construction
materials related show in Japan and has been growing in popularity
every year. Strong participation by BC Wood members also attests
to the success of this show.
For
more information and pricing of this year’s show, or
the Japan Program overall, please contact Jim Ivanoff by e-mail

I
love this story…as we speak, Judson Beaumont from Straight
Line Design is down in New York installing the first of a
number of new projects underway for the Staten Island University
Hospital’s Pediatric Unit.
Judson
has done many projects for Children’s Hospitals in Canada
and across the US, but this one is special.
Jud
first met Rhona Hershkowitz of RHD Design of New York at the
ICFF show he attended with BC Wood back in 2001. Since then,
they have reconnected at a number of other tradeshows and
events and have worked together on a number of projects. It
was Rhona who brought Jud to the attention of the Joseph Maffeo
Foundation and the University Hospital, when they were considering
an interactive play area dedicated to the memory of Fire Fighters
lost on September 11, 2001. Jud jumped on a plane and went
to meet with them, armed with his measuring tape and sketchbook.
The
photos you see are the completed Fire Truck Wall, designed
and completed by Straight Line, to be a fully functional unit
with working computers, televisions, shelving - and even some
secret storage (located behind one of the wheel hubcaps)!
It
is a marvel of ingenuity and design, using many elements and
mediums to create the finished product. Judson continues to
incorporate a sense of uniqueness to his designs, proving
that anything is possible and that ideas are limitless.
His
next project is for the FAO Swartz Manhattan Store –
another connection he made by attending the ICFF (New York)
2005 and the Hospitality Design Show in Vegas, with BC Wood!
Visit
Jud’s website at www.straightlinedesigns.com
to see a selection of past projects – you’ll be
amazed at what you recognize!
