Laminated bamboo
since 1992
Moso culms are split into flat slats, stabilised, then glued and hot-pressed into solid blanks — horizontally (plain-pressed) or on edge (side-pressed) — before being machined into beams and profiles.

History
- 1992
Laminated bamboo
dasso industrialises glued-laminated bamboo (700 kg/m³) — the first structural use of the plant.
- 1993
Foundation
The Group begins its journey in industrial bamboo and becomes one of the earliest bamboo flooring manufacturers in Asia.
- 2000–02
Raising brand awareness
Visibility grows beyond the region with major European projects such as Madrid-Barajas Airport and the Mercedes-Benz HQ in Stuttgart.
- 2006
Densified strand woven
Invention of compressed strand-woven bamboo — density jumps to 1,150–1,200 kg/m³.
- 2010
dassoXTR® goes to market
The thermally fused (Fused Bamboo®) exterior strand-woven range is commercialised worldwide.
- 2010–15
Sustainable expansion
Eco-design becomes core brand DNA; strategic cooperation with IKEA sets up the global bamboo R&D centre.
- 2015–20
Recognition
Two National Awards for Technological Invention and a global presence at exhibitions and conferences.
- 2017
dassoCTECH®
Ceramic impregnation (CeramiX®) is invented — mineral crystallisation inside the fibre.
- 2022–today
New horizons
dassoCTECH PLUS is released and, in 2023, dasso Europe opens to serve the western market directly.
Two ways to engineer bamboo
From glued-laminated beams to extreme-density strand woven boards — the same raw moso culm, two industrial routes.
700 kg/m³
Densified strand woven
since 2006
The same culms are crushed into long fibre strands, treated, then compressed under extreme pressure and heat. The fibres interlock into a board almost twice as dense as tropical hardwood.
Our two exterior ranges
dassoXTR®
Invented in 2010Thermal treatment (Fused Bamboo®)
- Carbonisation : Heated to 200 °C, sugars removed (anti-insect / anti-mould).
- Compression : High density — 1150 kg/m³.
- Result : Espresso tone.
dassoCTECH®
Invented in 2017Ceramic impregnation (CeramiX®)
- Crystallisation : Impregnation with a combination of minerals.
- Extreme density : 1200 kg/m³.
- Result : Caramel / Ipe tone.
