The subsidiary operates a hydraulic pressure treatment plant that uses pressure impregnation methods to infuse preservative chemicals into timber and poles. This makes the products more resistant to pests, fungal decay, and moisture, which are common challenges for wood exposed to outdoor environments

Woodco also provides treated timber for use in construction and landscaping. These are used for buildings, fences, retaining walls, and decking. The company may also provide sawn timber for custom carpentry, furniture production, or other specialized construction projects.
