Company boilerplate

The 120-word company description we use in press kits.

NorthStar Building Products is a Canadian wood manufacturer founded in 2024 and headquartered at a 74,000 sq ft mill in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec. Its inaugural product line — the Good Neighbour collection — is a shadowbox fence panel finished on both sides, available in Western Red Cedar or ACQ-treated Southern Yellow Pine. The company operates a dealer-first distribution model modelled on BarretteWood, with 47 partner lumberyards across Canada and the northern US border states. Long-term, NorthStar intends to expand into the full outdoor-living category (decking, pergolas, accents) along the operational path of Barrette Outdoor Living.
