The Namib Desert Beetle lives in one of the most arid areas of the world where less than one-half inch of rain falls each year. This beetle is able to survive in this environment through the unique surface properties on its shell. Every day, the beetle climbs to the top of a sand dune and puts its back to the wind and is able to collect 12% of its body weight in water from the moisture in the air.

The Namib Desert Beetle was the inspiration for starting the company. The founders of NBD set out to do Biomimicry and transfer the beetle’s shell properties to ordinary product surfaces. Since our founding, we have built on what we have learned from the Namib beetle to develop new and innovative products.
