Growing Bigger by Serving Better.
About
We Have 50+ Years of Experience
Cottle’s Island Lumber is a local company with 50+ years of heritage in the Notre Dame Bay Region. Founded by Ralph Philpott and carried on by his son Rex Philpott. A family-owned company that extends to four generations with Rex’s daughter Lorie and grandson Robin participating in the organization. As a family centric company, it has endeavoured to maintain year-round employment in rural Newfoundland where most jobs are seasonal. This is done to create opportunities for people to have job security and reliable income while staying with their families. Being able to come home to your beaming wife and loving children has been a core value for the company throughout the half a century it has operated since incorporating in 1969.
The company is primarily a sawmill operation in NL that is 100% vertically integrated. During CILCL’s 50+ years of operation it has grown to encompass the entire forest-based value-added chain; harvesting logs, trucking raw materials and finished products, sawing dimensional lumber and completing the value chain with secondary processes for siding, flooring, and panelling. Additionally, CILCL extended the value chain for its sawmilling by-products by becoming the only wood pellet producer in NL. Cottle’s history also includes the manufacturing of panelized homes for export to Chile and Japan. As well as the development of residential and commercial real estate. Cottle’s is a NL focused company that continues to explore the fringe of what a forest resources can accomplish.
