It is with great pleasure that AFA Forest Products Inc. announces a key benchmark in the company's strategy and that a step of its long-term planning has recently been achieved.
Our Atlantic region, effective immediately, will operate under four individual division managers (please see Table 1 below), rather than a single divisional general manager. This realignment had been identified as one of several important initiatives, which will accelerate corporate growth, improve service, provide velocity to new national product programs and expedite future location expansion.
As of May 1st, 2010, Lighthouse Lumber Wholesalers, a division of AFA Forest Products Inc., will no longer exist. Effectively, the entire group, coast to coast, will operate under AFA Forest Products Inc., establishing a key component in the company history and solidifying our position as a premier wholesale distributor of building materials across Canada.
Table 1:| Division Manager | Location | Telephone # |
| Mr. Dwight Fitzmorris | Dartmouth, NS | 1.902.434.8200 |
| Mr. John Ethelston | Moncton, NB | 1.506.857.9977 |
| Mr. Lewis Short | Mount Pearl, NL | 1.709.368.6813 |
| Mr. Jim Stewart | Sydney, NS | 1.902.562.5596 |
Over the next few months, AFA Forest Products Inc. will be in a position to announce more important milestones and accomplishments, so stay tuned!
