Company History

Based in Whitecourt Alberta and started in 1989 ANC is a 50/50 partnership between the Stern Group and West Fraser. ANC is Alberta’s only combined pulp and paper mill.

To maintain their competitive edge ANC has diversified into other businesses on site including power generation with a 65MW gas fired power plant built in 2014 and a Transload facility built in 2013.
ANC manages a 374,000 hectare Forest Management Agreement area south west of Fox Creek as well as a coniferous quota SE of Edson and a deciduous allocation around the town of Fox Creek.
