Business Areas

• Manufacturing and Sales of Functional Wood: Gaonwood produces various functional wood products, including flame-retardant, fire-resistant, and semi-fireproof wood that is not easily ignited, as well as preservative-treated wood that is resistant to decay. These products are characterized by enhanced fire safety and durability while maintaining the inherent advantages of wood.
• Development of High-Functionality Building Finishing Materials: We contribute to creating a comfortable indoor environment by developing interior finishing materials with sound absorption and moisture absorption/desorption functions. We maximize product performance by utilizing proprietary technology that impregnates wood with flame-retardant resin harmless to the human body.
• Wood-Mineral Composite Panel Business: Our core product, 'Woodras,' is a composite panel combining wood fiber and mineral binder, offering fire safety performance of semi-fireproof/flame-retardant grade 1 and excellent sound absorption effects. It is mainly supplied as wall and ceiling finishing material for public facilities such as schools, hospitals, and performance halls.

Products

• Flame Retardant / Semi-fireproof Wood: This wood possesses fire safety performance exceeding the standards of the Fire Service Act and Building Act. It is manufactured by impregnating wood with flame-retardant resin harmless to the human body. It solves the flammability issue while maintaining the inherent properties of wood, such as color, scent, and grain.
• Moisture Absorbing/Desorbing Wall and Ceiling Sound Absorber: This is a multi-functional interior finishing material that regulates indoor humidity and provides sound absorption by applying hole-punching and moisture absorption/desorption treatment technology to natural wood such as cypress and radiata pine. It contributes to preventing mold and creating a comfortable environment.
• Functional Wood Deck (Antibacterial, Anti-mold, Weather Resistant): We produce outdoor wood deck products with antibacterial, anti-mold, termite-resistant, and weather-resistant functions. Developed using domestic resources such as Korean larch, it boasts excellent durability even in external environments.

Special Notes

• Recognition for Independent Technology and Innovative Products: We possess proprietary technology for impregnating wood with flame-retardant resin harmless to the human body. Our 'Moisture Absorbing/Desorbing Functional Interior Finishing Material' was designated as the first innovative product by the Korea Forest Service. Additionally, our 'Flame-retardant Sound-absorbing Material for Walls and Ceilings' has received national new technology and excellent procurement product certifications.
• Eco-friendly and Competitive in the Public Procurement Market: We develop eco-friendly building materials certified by the Ministry of Environment's Green Technology, and have secured strong competitiveness in the public procurement market by being designated as an innovative and excellent product by the Public Procurement Service. We mainly supply to public facilities such as schools and hospitals.
• Utilization of Domestic Wood and Creation of High Added Value: We develop functional products utilizing domestic wood resources such as Korean pine, cedar, and larch, creating high added value. We have been recognized for our technological capabilities and social contributions through awards such as the Korean Wood Utilization Technology Award and the Prime Minister's Award.

Recruitment Information

• Main Hiring Positions: Recruitment may primarily occur in positions related to wood processing, production, quality control, research and development support, sales, and management.
• Benefits: We offer the four major insurances (National Pension, Health Insurance, Employment Insurance, Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance), a 5-day work week, and benefits such as meal support.
