Woodoo Augmented wood unlock a new industrial age and pave the way to a net-zero world. How? By transforming wood at the molecular scale, turning it into sustainable high-performance material alternatives to steel, glass, leather, plastics, without sacrificing our planet's health.

Woodoo doesn't contribute to the already threatened noble wood species or deforestation - quite the opposite. Woodoo gives a new lease of life to substandard and damaged wood species while tapping into a plentiful and 100% renewable resource. Using this dieback wood, we create biomaterials with improved technical characteristics, impressive aesthetic qualities, and unique sensing capabilities. Our products are just better, sturdier, cleaner, and more cost-effective.

Woodoo’s technology has already gained recognition from the most prominent customers across our three product lines: automotive, luxury, and construction. Our product selection ranges from automotive smart surfaces and touch sensitive wooden interfaces to animal-free, luxurious "leather" items, to ultra-high mechanical structural solutions for the construction industry.
