The era of American renewal begins with construction. We have to build—with greater speed, scale, and craftsmanship. That's what Bobyard unlocks. @JTLonsdale and Bobyard Founder & CEO Michael Ding explain.

Looks like we can add super high-tech materials and composites to the list of ambitious Gundo exports, especially after Cambium announced a $100M Series B led by 8VC, right on the heels of a major composite manufacturing acquisition. https://t.co/UZFF3M6itp
