REINVENTING WOOD
Harnessing the Power of Nature to Transform Industries
At InventWood, we're unlocking the extraordinary potential of cellulose—nature's fundamental building block—to create sustainable materials that outperform traditional options. When our founder, Dr. Liangbing Hu, published his groundbreaking SUPERWOOD process in the prestigious journal Nature in 2018, it marked the beginning of the next major leap forward in the fundamental materials that humanity builds with, a marriage of nature and technology that rises to the needs of today and tomorrow.
Today, after seven years of intense development work, substantial investment, and over 140 patents, SUPERWOOD is ready to reshape how we build our world. This isn't just innovation—it's transformation.
Our technology harnesses the inherent strength of wood's cellular structure while eliminating its vulnerabilities, creating materials that are stronger, more versatile, and environmentally superior to conventional alternatives, while retaining nature’s imprint and beauty.
Join us to pioneer the exciting new materials future that industries demand and our planet deserves.

Introducing SuperWood: The Next Generation of Building Materials
SUPERWOOD is the first-to-market material designed to outperform conventional construction materials in nearly every way. Crafted from wood, it undergoes a proprietary process that enhances its natural properties while making it incredibly strong while still 6x lighter than steel.
Stronger than steel
SUPERWOOD offers strength superior to steel, providing the performance required for the most challenging building conditions.
Lighter than steel
Its lightweight nature makes it easier to handle and transport, and reducing costs and construction challenges.
Reduced impact
On a performance basis, making SUPERWOOD generates 90% lower carbon emissions than steel, plus it locks carbon away for long term storage. SUPERWOOD can be made from underutilized, or even waste wood.
A Global Opportunity for Sustainable Innovation
The potential for SUPERWOOD is vast. As industries seek to reduce their environmental impact, SUPERWOOD stands out as a key solution for reducing reliance on carbon-intensive materials like steel. By incorporating SUPERWOOD into infrastructure and building projects, the world can take a significant step toward achieving sustainability goals.
Replace 80% of steel
SUPERWOOD has the capacity to substitute up to 80% of steel used globally, offering a powerful alternative that doesn’t compromise on performance.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 2 gigatons
By leveraging SUPERWOOD on a global scale, we can drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions tied to the production of traditional materials, cutting over 2 gigatons of CO2 annually.
Shaping the Future of Construction and Manufacturing
SUPERWOOD is more than just a material – it’s a movement toward a stronger and more sustainable future, providing industries with the foundation to build faster, cleaner and stronger.
Join us as we transform the way the world thinks about construction.
