Two market leaders – one shared focus on fire-retardant treated wood

Woodsafe Timber Protection and Hoover Treated Wood Products are two of the world's leading companies in industrial fire-retardant treated wood. Through a long-term strategic partnership, Woodsafe's leading expertise in European fire-retardant impregnation is combined with Hoover's extensive experience in pressure-treated wood and fire protection solutions for the North American market.

The partnership is built on joint studies, research, technical development, and documented performance. Woodsafe holds the exclusive rights to use Hoover's Fire-X® fire-retardant formulation for industrial production within the European Union, creating a unique technical platform that brings together American and European expertise.

Together, the companies develop, verify, and deliver solutions that meet the highest standards of fire safety, quality, and long-term performance—from Nordic timber buildings to international infrastructure projects and architecturally significant buildings around the world.
