About the Company

DesertBoard® is the manufacturer of the region’s most sustainable building material, Palm Strand Board (PSB®), crafted from annually regenerated date palm fronds. Registered in 2011, DesertBoard® was driven by an ambitious vision to transform abundantly available raw materials into sustainable wooden boards. During this period, we undertook extensive experimentation, research, and development to create Palm Strand Board (PSB®), laying the foundation for a revolutionary sustainable building material. A decade later, in 2021, DesertBoard® marked a major milestone with the inauguration of its factory and the successful production of the first PSB® engineered wooden board, setting a new standard in sustainable building materials. Addressing a critical environmental challenge, DesertBoard upcycles pruned palm fronds through a patented process, becoming the world’s first factory to produce a Super E0 (zero-emission) grade board, equivalent in strength to Oriented Strand Board 3 & Oriented Strand Board 4.
