## InventWood’s SuperWood Revolutionizes Construction: Partnership with Intectural Brings Steel-Strength Wood to U.S. Market
Get ready for a revolution in the construction industry! InventWood, the innovator behind steel-strength wood building materials, has teamed up with Intectural, a leading distributor of premium and sustainable architectural products, to bring their game-changing SuperWood to the U.S. market. This exciting partnership promises to usher in a new era of construction, where strength, durability, and beauty go hand-in-hand.
Intectural will play a crucial role in introducing InventWood’s Facade, crafted from their proprietary SuperWood, to builders across the U.S. This move marks a significant leap forward in the construction landscape, offering builders access to a material that surpasses traditional steel in strength and durability while maintaining a natural, aesthetically pleasing finish.
The partnership will secure a significant portion of InventWood’s initial output from its pilot production facility, set to begin commercial production in early 2025. This strategic alliance highlights the shared vision of both companies: to advance the adoption of superior building materials that deliver unmatched performance and environmental responsibility.
“Intectural is the perfect first domestic partner for InventWood as we share a common goal – to elevate the quality of building materials and promote the use of sustainable solutions that offer unparalleled durability and aesthetics,” stated Tyler Huggins, CEO of InventWood. “We are eager to leverage Intectural’s support as we introduce SuperWood to the U.S. market, revolutionizing the construction industry with a breathtaking new wood that is stronger and lighter than steel.”
InventWood’s SuperWood boasts an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, outperforming traditional steel while significantly reducing embodied carbon. This innovative material will seamlessly integrate into Intectural’s curated portfolio of partners, which are renowned for delivering cutting-edge solutions that enhance the quality and sustainability of wood materials and their sourcing processes.
Intectural’s customers and builders will be among the first to experience the transformative benefits of SuperWood. “Intectural has consistently led the industry by carefully selecting innovative materials that excel in sustainability and aesthetic appeal without compromise,” explained Jason Peterson, Vice President of Intectural. “InventWood’s SuperWood clearly delivers next-level strength and durability, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to our portfolio, making SuperWood accessible to our customers who are seeking innovative solutions for their projects.”
Engineered to withstand the harshest conditions, SuperWood is built to endure severe weather, high humidity, fire, rot, and pests. This resilience makes it an invaluable asset for the future of construction, as the world strives to fortify buildings against climate challenges and embrace sustainable practices. SuperWood stands as a superior alternative to conventional materials that often falter in harsh environments.
InventWood’s advanced and automated manufacturing processes will enable large-scale production of SuperWood by early 2025, starting with their pilot facility in Frederick, Maryland. To learn more about InventWood and their groundbreaking technology, visit their website at www.inventwood.com.
