For over 40 years, Genics Inc. has stood at the forefront of wood protection technology, delivering advanced solutions that help industries preserve the longevity, safety, and structural integrity of their wooden assets. Headquartered in Acheson, Alberta, our company combines decades of hands-on experience with a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, research, and innovation.

What We Do
At Genics, we specialize in comprehensive wood protection systems — including state-of-the-art preservatives, fire retardants, and inspection tools — that are designed to withstand the harshest environmental conditions while complying with modern sustainability standards. Our products are used extensively in critical infrastructure, including utility poles, bridges, railways, marine structures, and agricultural facilities.

From our flagship Cobra Rods, which use glass-encapsulated biocides to protect wood internally, to FireSheath®, our Class A fire retardant coating that shields wooden surfaces from flame spread, we engineer every product with durability, performance, and environmental safety in mind.

Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to protect what matters most — the environment, human safety, and the built world around us. We aim to reduce the frequency of wood replacement, extend the life of wooden structures, and support industries in transitioning to safer, more eco-conscious building practices.

Sustainability at the Core
Unlike traditional treatments that rely on harmful fumigants or outdated chemicals, Genics’ solutions are engineered to be environmentally responsible. Our treatments are non-fumigant, targeted, and backed by rigorous third-party research, ensuring minimal ecological impact while delivering maximum protection.

Innovation Through Collaboration
Innovation isn’t just a goal at Genics — it’s in our DNA. We collaborate closely with universities, government research institutions, and industry experts to develop new technologies that address the evolving challenges of wood deterioration, fire risk, and bio-degradation. Our research-driven approach ensures that we remain a trusted leader in both performance and regulatory compliance.

Serving North America and Beyond
With a growing presence across Canada and the United States, Genics is proud to support utility companies, municipalities, and industrial sectors in maintaining safer, longer-lasting wood infrastructure. Whether it’s a remote hydro pole in British Columbia or a fire-safe boardwalk in California, our products deliver unmatched reliability.
