Kalesnikoff

Kalesnikoff is a Canadian forest products company based in Thrums, British Columbia. Founded by the Kalesnikoff brothers, the company operates an integrated business spanning forest management, sawmilling, and mass timber manufacturing. Its product range includes cross-laminated timber (CLT), glulam, GLT panels, Japan Zairai lumber, and general lumber. The company describes itself as North America's most advanced, vertically integrated, multi-species mass timber producer.

The Kalesnikoff company history is an 80-year legacy. In 1922, as Russian immigrants, the Kalesnikoffs first moved to the West Kootenays to join a communal Doukhobour settlement called Champion Creek. Koozma Kalesnikoff's parents and his brothers, Sam and Peter, arrived with dreams of peace and prosperity. In the 1930s, Koozma Kalesnikoff envisioned a more rewarding future. After applying for timber rights up China Creek, 10 miles south of Castlegar, British Columbia, Koozma and his brothers first began to build what would eventually become Kalesnikoff Lumber Co. Ltd. For eight months, using axes, horses and cross-cut saws, the three brothers punched their first logging road a distance of two miles and by summer of 1940 built a sawmill. After several relocations within the Castlegar area, the brothers eventually established their operation in Thrums, where the Kalesnikoff sawmill stands today.
