Nova Scotia sawmill: `quality over quantity'

Article Abstract:

Elmsdale Lumber Company Ltd. (ELCO) is a family owned firm that incorporated in 1950 and employs 55 workers. Inspired by a nearby Volvo plant, the company focuses on quality over quantity. Using up to eight varieties of wood species, ELCO manufactures small amounts of high-quality lumber. The company's final products are so accurate that one customer volunteered to absorb a price increase in exchange for additional lumber.
