Interesting, sounds like a viable alternative. Looks like the process needs a lot of large spring/summer growth rings to take the resins they impregnate the wood with and that the process needs very soft wood to work. One has to wonder about this statement I pulled of the manufacturers site: An organic resin, derivated from agricultural waste, is introduced. Since this is manufactured in China one has to wonder what the waste stream starts out as? 
This reminds me of the warning I received years ago about purchasing leather goods in Juarez, Mexico as I was informed that the locals used a locally sourced "organic" form of ammonia in the tanning process. 
Still, this is probably only the start for this type of product - if this works on this species of pine there's no reason why a similar technology couldn't be used on domestic white pine, alder, spruce or poplar.
