Adam Zimmerman was involved from the very beginnings of Noranda Mine's foray into the forest industry sector.

By 1964, he was the President (and later Chairman) of Northwood Mills and Northwood Pulp. In 1974, Zimmerman was appointed Executive Vice-President of Noranda, which included responsibility for the forest products activities of the company.
