The poles and other wood products are treated at the Toktas Treatment Plant, located in Ceyhan / Adana. This province lies in the centre of a triangle of three major ports on the Eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, supported by the main highways and railroads to the Middle East.

The Toktas Treatment Plant began operating in 1984, and has an annual treatment capacity of approximately 60,000 cubic metres, using creosote and water-borne salts as preservatives. This represents the highest impregnation capacity of a single plant in Turkey, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

One of the major reasons for carrying out impregnation activities in Turkey is the nearly ideal climatic conditions that the plant location offers for this process. This further gives the unique advantage of achieving excellent conditioning of the timber under atmospheric conditions similar to those of many utility sites in the Middle East and Africa. This feature eliminates sudden stresses resulting from dramatic changes in the climatic conditions between the country of growth and the country of utilization.

The poles are stacked in open formations for efficient seasoning, then subjected to dressing and fabrication to meet the client's requirements, and finally to preservative treatment with the required penetration and retention of the preservative prior to shipment to destinations. This whole cycle is relatively shorter than in Scandinavia, thus minimising the attack of fungi and other causes for decay prior to treatment.
