MOSO® has 3 principles that are integrated throughout the company:

Sustainability
Ecology is more than a fashion statement
MOSO® Bamboo is one of the most promising alternatives in the required shift to a sustainable society. It grows faster than any other plant in the world, yet has hardwood-like properties. These qualities make MOSO® Bamboo the ideal alternative to tropical hardwood.

Product excellence
Product quality is crucial for the acceptance of a relative new product like bamboo
A key precondition for MOSO®’s success has always been its control over the production process. This has never been easy because the production takes place in faraway China in a new industry. By establishing a professional organization there, the quality and availability of the MOSO® products is always safeguarded. Unlike many other European companies sourcing in China, our inspectors inspect more than just the end product. They are involved in the production process from A to Z. Production in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified facilities further guarantees compliance with strictest health, safety and environmental regulations. MOSO® International BV gives, depending on the type of product, a product guarantee for a period of up to 30 years.

Innovation
Innovation is the key for bamboo as a mature, hardwood alternative
MOSO® has always focused on innovation. A famous example is the 200.000 m² curved ceiling panel for the Madrid airport, until today the largest bamboo project in the world. Here MOSO® was the first to come up with a flexible, fire resistant bamboo board. Since MOSO® started in 1997, it was clear that for a lot of applications the right bamboo product did not yet exist. Based on the unique, versatile qualities of this resource, MOSO® has always played a leading role in developing new solutions in bamboo. Another example is the technology to treat bamboo for outdoor use: MOSO® Bamboo X-treme®.
