new name, old business.

Kawartha Lumber is a new name attached to an old business — Murray Brothers Lumber Co. Founded in 1902, Murray Brothers Lumber is a 3rd generation family-owned forest products business operating in the Ottawa Valley. Murray Brothers’ long term success has been built on honest hard work, sustainable forest management, and strong customer relationships. Kawartha Lumber is built on the same values.

We love Peterborough County and the surrounding regions. We love the cottage country, and the growing city center. We think the future is very bright in this region, and we are betting on it.

Kawartha Lumber sources supply direct from the integrated logging and sawmill operations at Murray Brothers located in Madawaska, ON. Mill-direct supply means high quality products, better value for your dollar, and highly customizable orders for your project. 100+ years of operations means better customer service, and help getting you what you need. We can beat the competition because we are going right from the mill to your doorstep. The name is new, and connects to the Peterborough, Lakefield, Apsley, Bancroft and surrounding regions - but we have been doing this for a long time.
