Nechako began production in 1969, purchasing rough lumber from bush mills located around the Vanderhoof area.

The sawmill has maintained its dominance in small diameter timber processing, utilizing a product that was previously piled and burned, creating value, and reducing waste. In 2017, L&M Lumber was merged into Nechako Lumber Co. Ltd.
