VANCOUVER – Canfor Corp. has made an offer to buy the shares of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. it does not already own in a deal that values the company at nearly $33 million.

Canfor Pulp shares were up 11.5 cents or about 30 per cent at 49.5 cents in morning trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder, court and regulatory approvals.
