Chief Financial Officer

Nanaimo Forest Products Ltd. (NFPL), operating as Harmac Pacific, is a privately owned British Columbia–based, partially employee-owned company producing approximately 400,000 tonnes per year of Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp, one of the highest-value pulp products globally. Since 2010, NFPL has invested more than $300 million in capital improvements across its pulp and energy operations, including significant investments in production infrastructure, renewable energy generation, and facility modernization.

The company serves international markets across Asia, North America, and Europe, and is recognized as both a specialty and commodity pulp producer, leveraging unique fibre inputs such as Douglas Fir, Hemlock, and Red Cedar to produce differentiated grades.

A key strategic differentiator for NFPL is its integrated energy platform. The Harmac Pacific site includes a biomass-fueled cogeneration facility that converts residual fibre inputs—such as sawdust and bark—to renewable electricity and process steam.

Since 2014, the company has supplied carbon‑neutral power to BC Hydro, generating enough energy to serve more than 28,000 homes annually. This contracted power business provides a stable and complementary revenue stream alongside the cyclical pulp market.
