Paris and Beyond
In recent years, ZHUART has achieved widespread recognition in the international market, with export revenues increasing by over 30% year-on-year. Targeting the opportunities created by the Olympic economy, ZHUART supplied a series of eco-friendly bamboo materials for key infrastructure projects in Paris. These include the regeneration of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, the Higher Roch Tower in Montpellier’s “New Saint-Roch” district, and the waterfront decking at George-Valbon Park and Paris T12 Tram Line Station. These projects highlight ZHUART’s commitment to innovation and its growing global reputation.

Since its establishment in 2010, ZHUART has considered technological innovation as the cornerstone of its business. The company has continuously invested heavily in R&D, introduced cutting-edge technologies and talent, and fostered industry-academia partnerships to develop proprietary products. These efforts have solidified ZHUART’s competitive position in the global market.
In 2021, ZHUART’s bamboo decking was selected for the outdoor flooring project at the Sofitel Hotel on Dubai’s iconic Palm Island. As a five-star beachfront resort, the hotel demanded eco-friendly materials with minimal environmental impact. ZHUART’s innovative bamboo decking outperformed all competitors in quality, securing the bid and demonstrating its unparalleled value. This single project provided valuable experience and insights for the company, strengthening ZHUART’s expertise in meeting high environmental standards.

ZHUART’s Commitment to Advanced Manufacturing
Traditional production processes for thermo bamboo have long faced challenges such as suboptimal working conditions, high energy consumption, and difficulties in meeting growing demands for higher production capacity, precision quality control, and eco-friendly designs. Recognizing these limitations, ZHUART has intensified its R&D efforts, establishing a Productivity Research Team to explore cutting-edge technologies for outdoor bamboo products.
Technical Breakthroughs
In collaboration with a team from Fuzhou University and other academic institutions, ZHUART has embarked on joint research to resolve key technical bottlenecks. This includes:
– Developing a multi-layer recycling energy-efficient drying line for glued bamboo strips.
– Innovating a force/position hybrid digital control system for hot-press molding of bamboo bundles.
These breakthroughs have significantly enhanced the precision and efficiency of ZHUART’s eco-friendly thermo bamboo manufacturing processes, bolstering its competitiveness in international markets.
New Challenges
With evolving demands in European, American, and Middle Eastern markets, ZHUART has noted a growing interest in large-format, high-strength bamboo structural materials. Meeting these demands presents a new challenge to ZHUART’s existing production capabilities.
To tackle this, ZHUART has partnered with the International Bamboo and Rattan Center (INBAR) to advance solutions for:
– Resolving density inconsistencies and mechanical property fluctuations in large-format outdoor engineered bamboo products.
– Overcoming incomplete carbonization and potential mold issues in bamboo bundles.
– Innovating automated panel homogenization technology for production.
These ongoing advancements underscore ZHUART’s unwavering commitment to driving technological innovation, enhancing production efficiency, and delivering world-class sustainable bamboo solutions for the global market.
