We modify timber – and we enhance it. Our precision-controlled heat treatment process transforms wood into a superior, high performance material.
Imbue is built on a legacy of expertise, and grounded in years of research, and real-world application.
Imbue brings together the expertise of two pioneering wood modification businesses. Maxwell Wood, established in 2001, introduced Asia’s first large-scale thermal modification plant, pushing the boundaries of innovation. Over two decades, Maxwell refined its process, specialising in modifying fast-growing and dense tropical species. Abodo Wood, founded in 2002, became the Southern Hemisphere’s leader in thermal modification, focusing on sustainable plantation species like Radiata Pine and Douglas Fir. Together, Imbue carries forward this legacy of innovation, creating high performance, heat tempered timber.
