Wood composite: a material of the future

Industrial logging of the world’s primary forests is rapidly destroying the habitats of thousands of animal and plant species, and depleting our planet of its oxygen reserves. This is an alarming problem and one that desperately requires a solution.

Solutions to the problem do exist. More than thirty years ago in Japan - where green awareness is firmly instilled in popular culture - a hardwood wholesaler, Nishibori Sadao, invented and developed a substitute for wood made from recycled softwood and polymer resins.

This new material had the appearance and qualities of wood while offering an eco-friendly alternative, and was an instant success. The quality and exceptional lifespan of the product, which followed the Shintoist tradition of respecting nature, won over the discerning Japanese public. Today, wood composite is widely available in Asia, and especially in Japan, where it holds a 60% market share in decking, cladding, and architectural applications.

Geolam^® is a wood-plastic composite product of exceptional quality. Many entrepreneurs have tried to imitate Japanese wood-plastic composite; however, Geolam®’s manufacturing technology is so finely tuned and intricately controlled that imitating it is nearly impossible.

Geolam^® offers superior products, based on Einwood^® technology, the company created by the original inventor of wood composite, Nishibori Sadao. We are the leading global brand in the field of wood/plastic products and offer the most durable, aesthetically pleasing and eco-friendly product available.

Geolam^® is gaining recognition as one of the success stories of the green revolution: a material for the future of construction.
