Straw in.
Homes out.
THEODOR 1200 is the turnkey factory behind the OSE Board building system — a complete production line, like a 3D printer for building material, that turns local agricultural straw into finished wall boards.

Build OSE Board locally.
OSE Systems develops and licenses the THEODOR 1200 by OSE production system so qualified local partners can manufacture 60 mm OSE Boards from agricultural straw and supply engineered wall systems for housing.
See the production systemProduction Line
Three modules. One integrated system.
Straw in one end — finished building boards out the other.
01
Infeed Module
Washes, trims, and conditions incoming straw — adjusting the process based on density and moisture to ensure a homogeneous feedstock regardless of seasonal bale variation.
02
Press / Compress
Heat and pressure compress conditioned straw into a 60 mm board. Paper facings and controlled adhesive application are integrated into the production process under defined QA/QC parameters.
03
End / Finishing
The board exits the press, is dried, cut to required length, and edge-sealed. Finished boards are stacked and palletised for despatch.

Capacity is a planning basis, not a production guarantee. Actual output depends on uptime, raw-material quality, maintenance, staffing, changeovers and ramp-up performance.

Straw in.
Homes out.
Every housing programme makes the same promise — hundreds of thousands of new homes — and hits the same wall: the local building system can't scale fast enough. THEODOR 1200 is built to change that. It's a complete, licensable factory — like a 3D printer for building material — that turns local agricultural straw into finished wall boards, in-country.
What It Is
Agricultural straw converted into a repeatable building product.
OSE Board uses compressed cereal straw as its principal raw material. The current manufacturing system includes paper facings and controlled adhesive application under defined process and QA/QC parameters.
The board is designed as part of an engineered wall system. Whether an assembly acts as framed infill, a partition or another wall configuration depends on the approved project design—not on the board in isolation.
Local cereal-straw feedstock can reduce dependence on imported conventional wall materials.
Large-format dry installation supports faster, more repeatable construction workflows.
Production, installation and QA/QC are delivered through OSE's licensing and factory-deployment system.

Work With OSE
Factory partners first. Investment support second. Government alignment third.
Factory & Licensee Partners
Build and operate local OSE Board production.
Qualified partners bring capital, a factory site, local operations and market access. OSE supplies the production system, licence, know-how, training and commissioning.
Start factory qualificationInvestors & Finance
Back a scalable industrial licensing platform.
Evaluate machinery revenue, recurring licence income, technical services and country-by-country deployment economics under appropriate confidentiality.
Discuss investment diligenceGovernment Programmes
Enable local manufacturing for housing delivery.
Government bodies can support demand, approvals and programme alignment while a qualified local licensee owns and operates production.
