Railway ties are used, as we know, throughout the world. Railway ties made from lumber are a unique product and superior to steel ties. The railway ties manufactured from wood offer a smoother ride for any passenger train. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that a train will ride smoother on wooden railway ties than on steel ties. The key is to select the proper grade for the wood in order to produce the best possible railway ties. The cost effectiveness of railway ties produced from wood is also very attractive.

Transco specializes in the production of railway ties, both in imperial and metric sizes. The company produces railway ties both for companies in Canada and in Asia. If you are looking for the exporting of railway ties to the Asian market or the European market, please contact Transco Mills today.

With the acquisition of the new production facilities in Prince George, Transco Mills has gone green!.

This is a major statement for a company in the lumber industry. Did you know that the kilns that Transco operates in Prince George are not only designed to dry wood to the highest quality standards?

Did you know that the kilns dry the wood over a period of three to four days, therefore, reducing any stress in the fibre of the wood? And finally, did you know that the kilns that Transco Mills operates in Prince George are heated by hog fuel? Yes, in fact, all our thirteen kilns in Prince George are heated by hog fuel, therefore, there are no pollutants that Transco emits to the air. Zero pollution.

This is a significant factor for our discriminating buyers. Everyone who is conscious about our world, increased pollution and deteriorating air quality should buy kiln-dried products from Transco Mills.

Going green is not a simple exercise. By operating a company and machinery such as kilns using hog fuel is no small commitment. Transco Mills is proud to make this commitment for its clients.

Distributors need to have top quality products available at reasonable prices. Transco Mills, despite operating its kilns without the use of any oil or gas, is able to offer its products at very competitive prices.

Wood comes in different grades as we all know. In order to find the best, we have to search for the very best for our discriminating clients. For those clients, we can search our vast resources in Canada to find the best quality lumber to suit your requirements.

From clear lumber/wood to number 2 and better grades, we have everything that you may desire. It is important, as you know, that you can get the exact grade of lumber that you need for your specific application. For example, pine and spruce are ideal for certain interior applications and certain structural applications while Douglas fir may be more suitable for others. You know what you need and we know that we can help you get what you require. For external applications, there are few species which are as durable as western red cedar. Western red cedar is actually an amazing wood that is extremely strong and holds its appearance very well. For example, roof tiles made from western red cedar, fencing, decking, sundecks and other products made from western red cedar are not only beautiful but long lasting pieces of art. This wood truly adds character to your home or construction project. Make sure that you contact your retailer or wholesaler for the western red cedar to meet your requirements. If you are a wholesaler looking for wood from Canada you owe it to yourself to contact Transco Mills. Here you find people who understand the export business and understand how to work with you. You work in cubic meters and so do we. You work in metric and so do we. You work in import and we work in export. This is a complete business utopia. Please contact us for more information because we are happy to help you with any of your requirements.

We know that buying wood from different countries can sometimes be difficult, therefore, you have to deal with people who know and understand international trade. We, at Transco, understand international trade. We have travelled the world and many of us have lived in different areas of the world. We know how the building business in Europe operates and we understand the requirements of that market. Therefore, we offer our timber in metric sizes for the European market. Transco is one of the few companies in North America to offer wood that is specifically suited for the European construction market as well as the European high grade furniture market. Western red cedar, for example, is an ideal product to be used for exterior purposes in Europe where temperatures vary and, in certain areas of northern Europe, the winters can be harsh. Western red cedar is extremely durable and you can read more about this species on this site. Also, the staff at Transco has been working with various companies in Asia for years. We understand the requirements of the Asian market and we understand the grades and the specifications required for that market. The same as for Europe, we can offer industrial grades for the Asian market as well as top quality grades for furniture and other applications. Whether you are looking for cants or fully sawn lumber, rest assured that Transco Mills has the solution that you need. Due to the economics of exporting, we all know that it only makes sense to ship in containers, therefore, Transco Mills can load the containers for you. This is a great advantage for you as our valued customer. Transco Mills is your one-stop shop for all your timber needs whether for industrial purposes or the highest quality lumber and timber needs.

Finger-jointing material is used a lot for building studs and is very practical due to its strength.

You can buy lower grade lumber and use it as studs if you buy the wood finger-jointed. The technology of finger-jointing allows us to use a low grade wood to achieve a stronger product.

Finger-jointing is ideal for building studs and for structural applications.

Please make sure to contact Transco Mills for your finger-jointing needs.

There is no point in spending more money than you have to when there are different solutions available.

Wood

Transco produces wood in many different grades. A lot of our clients, particularly in Asia, Europe and the Middle East are looking for wood for industrial purposes.

Transco offers a variety of wood for industrial purposes, such as cement forms and other similar applications. As we know, it is not necessary to use high quality wood for concrete moulds; rather, industrial grade will suffice.

In this case, Transco offers economical alternatives for you. It is not easy to get wood at affordable prices, however, due to the effects of the mountain pine beetle in British Columbia, this wood is now more affordable than before.

This is a window of opportunity that you should seriously consider when buying wood for industrial uses.

Transco offers a vast amount of wood ideal for industrial grades. The grading rules in North America are such that you can be sure that the wood you are using will fall within a specific grade and that grade will assuredly be suitable for your needs.

Make sure that you are not spending too much money on wood for industrial purposes when we have good alternatives for you. Wood is a practical solution for many building applications when appearance is not important. Wood is ideal for construction purposes as we all know and Transco offers wood for that purpose. In addition to our roof decking products, we also offer many types of industrial woods in different species. SPF (spruce, pine, fir) is ideal for industrial applications when graded as such. The most common grade used for industrial purposes is “economy” or “utility” grades. These grades are sufficient for most common industrial applications. Transco also offers industrial grade products in our finger-jointing lines.

Transco Mills manufactures spruce and pine products which are free of any blue stain. We produce the highest quality of spruce and pine products possible. Make sure that when you are buying spruce and pine products from Canada, that you are buying the top grade if you are using the product for appearance purposes. In this case, Transco Mills is your best choice.

In British Columbia, the mountain pine beetle has affected large areas of the forests. However, Transco Mills has access to mountain beetle free wood which is not affected in any way by the mountain pine beetle. All of this timber can be sawn in metric sizes for our clients in Asia.

Our Japanese clients know that the dependability and the quality that Transco offers in spruce and pine in metric sizes are second to none. Remember to contact Transco whenever you are looking for exports into the Asian market

To export wood from Canada is relatively very easy and Transco Mills has the resources and the skills to help you do just that. Whatever your requirements are, Transco Mills can help.

Whether you are looking for pine, spruce, white fir, commonly referred to as SPF lumber, or Douglas fir or western red cedar lumber, Transco Mills has access to all these species.

When you are exporting wood from Canada, or importing wood into your country, it is advisable to have all such wood kiln-dried. Transco Mills can kiln-dry wood up to 60 feet long. That is truly amazing if you think about it, that you can get 12.x 12, kiln-dried, up to 60 feet long.

This is a true competitive advantage for our clients. If you are looking for wood for export outside of the North American continent, you owe it to yourself to contact Transco Mills as we cut our lumber both in imperial and in metric sizes.
