Founded in 1994 by Ann and David Knight, self-described "avid environmentalists," Teragren is one of North America's largest manufacturers of environmentally friendly bamboo flooring, stair parts, trim, panels, veneer, and butcher block countertops. "We control production from harvest to distribution of all Teragren products," the couple says, "specifying only materials and processes that meet stringent European, Japanese and U.S. environmental standards."
