About Us

SmartFume® is a team of wood product and  product development/design experts who have worked hard to create a product that has the ability to radically increase the life of poles and timbers, saving companies billions of dollars in replacement costs.

The SmartFume ® originators have over 45 years of experience in wood inspection and treatment, 10 years in forest research and development at Oregon State University Forest Research Laboratory, 35 plus years of experience in engineering, product development and design. Recognizing that chloropicrin has the most effective and longest-lasting ability to treat utility poles, SmartFume’s ® team of professionals set out to overcome the obstacles that have prevented this powerhouse pesticide from being readily used for internal wood decay prevention.

SmartFume’s ® team ingenuity developed an encapsulated controlled release chloropicrin cartridge that not only greatly reduces handler exposure, but also adds Smart features that have never been available to the wood treating industry until now.

The SmartFume ® team has labored for years to research, develop, test and produce the best internal wood treatment cartridge available. SmartFume ® is manufactured within the USA. Our goal is to significantly increase the life of utility poles and other wood timbers, reducing the cost of replacement while reducing the impact on forests. 

Made right here in the USA.
