WHO OWNS SOUTHCOAST?
Coal Island Ltd. is holding company owned privately by the Shields Family. The family’s assets include forest products – Coastland Wood Industries Ltd. (largest veneer manufacturer in North America) as well as Southcoast Reman Ltd, two very separate and distinct operating businesses and a commercial real estate portfolio in British Columbia.
Southcoast Reman Ltd. was established in 1999 from Shields Forest Products and its predecessor Byrne Reman and operated on Byrne Road in Burnaby where it later became Southcoast Millwork Ltd.
That business moved to Maple Ridge in 2007 taking over an existing lumber remanufacturing site of 13.6 acres which included planer and resaw lines, as well as significant building and storage space. Southcoast Millwork Ltd. built a new kiln drying facility in 2007 and began reinventing its business in 2010. The Company was amalgamated into Coal Island Ltd. in 2011, rebranded as Southcoast Reman in 2014 and re-established as a stand-alone operating business, Southcoast Reman Ltd. in January 2020.
Today, Southcoast Reman is one of the largest independent custom lumber reman and dry kiln operators on the Coast of British Columbia.
