Thomes Timelines:

Our MISSION is Supply Chain Oriented, to find you the best option to solve your production requirements.

When Thomes Canada was founded in 1963, we started with decades of experience in the production of Birch Plywood, made in Finland. The history of Birch Plywood began in the decade of the 1800’s when mechanization of the log peeling process was invented. Since 1963, Thomes Canada and its partner manufacturers have revolutionized the North American market by developing what is still defined as state of the art Baltic Birch Plywood. It uses conventional press technologies and innovative advanced coatings to achieve superior product results every time. By combining re-defined process flows with innovative product designs & standards Thomes Canada did not become yet another wholesale supplier, but rather a product solutions innovator.
