How we got here…

The first magnesium cements were first created in the 1860’s. They were found to have high impact resistance and compressive strength. One of the early applications was manufacturing billiard balls.

Magnesium Oxide cements were also found to have unique heat and fire resistant properties.

Combining the cement with layers of fiberglass mesh created a panelized form with attractive properties as a building material.

During the 1990’s, Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Panels gained widespread adoption in China’s building boom as a fire resistant substrate for interior decorative panels.

While some early applications in Europe ran into moisture problems when using interior panels on exterior facades, the industry has since made many technological advances in the formulation and manufacturing processes.

Today, many succesful cases for both interior and exterior use can be seen across Asia and the Middle East with growing demand here in the United States.

We’ve worked with scientists and labs across North America at the forefront of chemistry and materials engineering to ensure the highest quality products made for US building practices and codes.
