About Me / Us:

Visiting China during a sourcing trip in 2005, we encountered bamboo flooring. At that time we had not seen it in SA, it was such a great looking product, and eco-friendly to boot. We decided to bring it to Africa, thus the start of Oriental Bamboo.

At first everyone we spoke to about the product envisioned bamboo poles and were most surprised to see the finished product. It took two years to "educate" the market (with the help of our friendly competitors), but now the industry is starting to see the benefits of this remarkable product.

We have subsequently added bamboo boards (a solid wood alternative), bamboo counter tops and panels to our product line up.

Being the industry's longest standing bamboo focused supplier in South Africa, we have learnt a lot about the product and the applications it is used in:- got a question about bamboo boards or flooring? Let us know and we'll do our best to give you a straight and clear answer (minus all the marketing hype).
