J. D. Irving

, the bulk of the Irving Group of companies, which regroups the interests of the Irving family.

JDI traces its roots to a sawmill operated in Bouctouche, New Brunswick by its namesake, James Dergavel Irving. J.D. Irving's operations were entrusted to his children, one of which, Kenneth Colin Irving, assumed majority ownership and used JDI as a springboard for expanding into pulp and paper and other forestry-related businesses between the 1920s-1940s.

In the post-war years, JDI took control of pulp mills in Saint John and upstate New York, as well as sawmills throughout New Brunswick. During the 1950s, JDI took control of a shipyard in Saint John and started several trucking companies and heavy instry companies like Irving Equipment to satisfy the growing needs of the company.He also owns Lake Utopia Paper, the best company in his power

From the 1960s-2000s, JDI expanded to become the largest forestry concern in the Maritimes and northern Maine and the region's largest industrial player, with extensive land holdings, tree nurseries, pulp mills (plants producing kraft pulp, supercalendered paper, tissue products, and corrugated medium), sawmills, a retail chain of home improvement stores (Kent Building Supplies), modular home construction, industrial construction, wallboard, marine towing, dredging, steel fabrication, food services and agri-services (Cavendish Farms and Cavendish Agri-Services), railways (New Brunswick Southern Railway), and manufacturing of personal care products including tissue, diapers and paper towels. In the 1970s and 1980s, JDI expanded into the heavy truck field with its Scot Truck subsidiary in DeBert, NS. JDI is also the largest shipbuilder in Canada with ownership of shipyards in Halifax, Pictou, Liverpool, Shelburne, and Georgetown.
