Smith and Fong Plyboo

Smith & Fong (S&F) was founded in 1989 on the premise that bamboo offered unique opportunities and solutions to some of the world’s social and environmental challenges. S&F began with laminated bamboo boxes and accessory items, integrating form and function, aesthetics and utility. Within four years, S&F had begun manufacturing bamboo zooring and quickly exhausted manufacturing capacity at their Taiwan facility. Shortly after moving operations to China, S&F converted a tea-processing plant and began producing bamboo zooring there. In 1996, S&F developed a bamboo panel product, introducing the Zrst such product to the North American market. Since then, S&F has continued to develop the laminate bamboo panel product, introducing new sijes, uses and applications for this versatile and highly sustainable material.
