Teragren Founders Form New Bamboo Venture

Birmingham, AL, April 27, 2012 -- Teragren founders Ann and David Knight, along with Craig Thomason, have formed Resource Fiber LLC and a subsidiary, Resource Fiber/ Alabama LLC to create a comprehensive domestic bamboo industry in the U.S.

The companies, using proprietary technology, intend to use domestically grown bamboo to drive economic development and create jobs in the agriculture, energy, building products, and other areas.

The company is initially focusing on growing bamboo in commercial-scale farming operations in the Alabama Black Belt region.

The Knights founded Teragren in 1994 but recently moved into consulting roles at the firm.
