Not many companies succeed in turning a relatively unknown product into a successful international business, but that’s exactly what Bamboo Import Europe has done. The company’s founders Pim van der Eng and Sandra Bonne started selling bamboo fencing out of their garage in the Netherlands in 2008 and rapidly grew to become the leading supplier of bamboo construction materials in the Benelux region. Although bamboo was not widely used as a fencing material in the Netherlands at that time, Pim and Sandra saw the potential. They worked hard to gradually grow the customer base for this versatile and highly sustainable product.
