Our History

1976 – Mayfair Lumber Founded

In April of 1976, a small two-man lumber trading operation first hung out its shingle on MacLeod Trail in Calgary. This event was the foundation for today’s Mayfair Lumber Sales Ltd., proudly celebrating over 48 years as an independently owned, Alberta-based company.

1981 – First Forklift

From a small trading office to a true lumber wholesaler, Mayfair Lumber began holding physical inventory and broadening their product lines to service customers better. This new LTL business opened up new opportunities as well as the need for equipment investment.

1992 – Acquired B&L

B & L Lumber was acquired in 1992 and operated as a distinct entity until 1998 when it was merged into Mayfair. Besides adding to the company’s customer base, this growth has driven an increase in Mayfair’s experienced sales and support staff, from the original two to the 50+ current employees.

1994 – First Load of OSB

With alternate products influencing the building industry from the late 80’s and 1990’s, Mayfair jumped at the opportunity to continue to expand with these products and increase market opportunity.

1999 – First Pallet Manufactured

With just a hammer and nails, Mayfair built its first pallets in 1999. Today, Mayfair stands as one of the largest pallet manufacturing operations in Western Canada, having produced over 10 million pallets to date.

2001 – 25 Year Anniversary

In 2001, Mayfair Lumber proudly marked its 25th anniversary. This milestone was a testament to a quarter-century of dedicated service in the lumber industry.

2021  – Passing of Hank Dahl

Mayfair’s founder, Hank Dahl, passed away on December 16, 2021. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the Mayfair team. His legacy continues through the company and through the people who continue to make it great.

2022 – First Memorial Charity Golf Tournament

Following the passing of Hank Dahl, the Mayfair team set up the first annual Memorial Charity Golf Tournament that raises money for Habitat for Humanity. Thanks to industry sponsors and participants, the tournament has raised over $158,000 so families across Alberta can have access to affordable living.

2023 – Expanded to Acheson

In April of 2023, Mayfair acquired 10 acres of land in Acheson, AB, complete with a 33,000- square-foot manufacturing facility and an extra 23,000 square feet of covered cold storage. This expansion solidifies the company’s commitment to serving the Western Canadian market and strengthening its operational capacity.
