North Carolina’s creosoting industry expands amid rising demand for fence posts and rural timber. General Creosoting Co. near the Sandhills uses heavy-pressure preservative methods to treat heart-pine and other timbers, fueling local employment and driving plans for broader plant capacity as rail access and coast demand grow.
In eastern North Carolina a new plant uses tar-solution treatment to convert old-field pine into resistant fence posts. George Matthis, a former GI, runs a six-acre operation near Clinton with scraps from a South Carolina boiler and Fayetteville piping. The small plant can produce 250 posts daily at 5 to 20 cents per post, offering quick profits with minimal capital.
