Dakeryn Group of Companies

Dakeryn Industries begins its journey with two traders and one accountant, in a small office in North Vancouver.

Dakeryn has evolved through the investment of six working partners who have strategically grown the business. Reaching most of North America, Dakeryn has become a leading player in the Canadian lumber marketing and distribution industry.

The vertical integration of Mountain View Specialty Products in Abbotsford, BC, into the Dakeryn umbrella allows Dakeryn to become more effective in servicing its growing portfolio of specialty wood product customers. Dak Trim, Dak Deck, and Dak Siding are all run out of this facility.

Dakeryn anchors its distribution operations across Canada and improves its presence in the Prairies with the purchase of Westmark Products. Westmark is the Dakeryn Group’s largest fully-owned distribution centre, located on 10 acres of land in Acheson, AB.

Interpro Export Group, a full-service distributor of forest products to over 30 markets around the globe, joins the Dakeryn Group at the North Vancouver office. The strategic move provides Dakeryn with rapid growth in the international trading forum with a loyal customer base and the expertise necessary to navigate and service growing international demand.

Dakeryn adds a 2nd line to Mountain View to expand specialty product offerings across North America. The increased capacity has improved lead times and provided flexibility in running additional product lines for specialty customers.

Dakeryn and Interpro relocate to a significantly larger head office in North Vancouver. The group is now moving 500 million board feet of lumber annually across North America and worldwide with a staff of ~120 amongst the four companies.
