Koolbamboo, a dba of Big Bamboo Trading Company, Inc., was formed in 2002 as an import/export company with the plan of supplying the very best bamboo building materials available. We work closely with our suppliers in the field, making sure that the products we distribute are harvested using sound and sustainable methods and practices. Koolbamboo has evolved over the past decade from the retail sales of guadua bamboo poles and products to 20 and 40f HC container wholesale shipments to markets in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean islands.
Koolbamboo, a dba of Big Bamboo Trading Company, Inc., was formed in 2002 as a result of many different influences. William Pierson, the principal owner and President, had been traveling to visit family in Colombia, and was impressed by the large forests of bamboo found in many areas, but particularly by the variety Guadua Angustifolia, the largest and strongest of all species. Natives and colonizers of the Americas had been using this guadua for centuries for building homes, fences, bridges - you name it.
