Pirl Information

Today, after various acquisitions and reorganizations, Paxton International Resources Ltd. is a multinational company with a diverse set of activities. However, it wasn't always that way. The company commenced operations in 1986 as a producer of post and rail products located at Monte Lake, BC. In 1997, Washington state based Pacific Calcium, Inc. was acquired, followed by the acquisition in 1998 of Nature's Intent Environmental Products, Inc. , another Washington state company. Both of these companies produce organic fertilizers -- Pacific Calcium manufactures mainly limestone soil amendment products in prilled form, while Nature's Intent products are blends of various organic elements. To reflect a more diverse corporation, in late 1998, the company name was changed to Paxton International Resources Ltd. The forest products business was transferred to a newly formed corporation -- Paxton Forest Products Inc. The end result left the company as a holding company with all operations being conducted by the wholly-owned subsidiaries. In December 2002 Paxton International Resources Ltd. formed Washington Pacific Industries, Inc., another Washington state based company. In late December 2002, Washington Pacific Industries purchased land, buildings and equipment in Entiat, WA. The Entiat facility manufactures wooden components for use in housing, furniture, playgrounds and other wood products. The head office of Washington Pacific Industries, Inc. is in Tonasket, WA where custom lumber products are produced and a reload facility operates.
