Weyerhaeuser Forest Products International was founded in 1995 as Weyerhaeuser Forestlands International to acquire and manage timberlands and related manufacturing operations outside North America. (The group name changed in 2005.) This group manages fast-growing plantations in the warm, temperate regions of the Southern Hemisphere, and produces high-quality, structural and appearance-grade wood products.
