(From www.plyboo.com)Smith & Fong was founded by two friends in the spring of 1989. Since then we have dedicated our efforts to developing new uses and applications for bamboo. With imagination and technology bamboo is being manufactured into flooring, paneling, and plywood. The base material for all our products is “Plyboo”. Plyboo is our term for laminated bamboo and is a registered trademark of Smith & Fong Company.
