A legacy of innovation: our history
The Outdoor story began in 1956 in the Toronto suburbs, initially focusing on the production of larch decking. We managed a complete closed-loop process—from harvesting and processing to the final product release. Despite facing economic challenges, including the Canadian dollar crisis in 1986, we persevered, adapting prices and maintaining demand. The 1989 Free Trade Agreement with the USA propelled rapid growth and our entry into the international market.
Overcoming challenges and embracing wpc
Expanding internationally presented logistical hurdles, particularly regarding the long-distance transportation of finished products. Our engineers developed specialized protective materials to preserve the original characteristics of our decking. From the mid-1990s onward, environmental concerns became central to our operations. This led to the introduction of WPC, a revolutionary material combining the benefits of wood and plastic, significantly reducing our reliance on natural wood resources.
What is wpc?
Our WPC products are created by pressing a mixture of wood fibers, polymers, modifiers, and dyes through specialized extruders, forming a robust, single-piece monolith. This process delivers exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal. Key advantages of WPC include:
- No protective coatings required
- Resistance to decay and pests
- Easy assembly
- Long-lasting appearance
