Go on-line and look for manufacturers. Candidly all the suppliers in the US import MGO board from China, so you should be able to find some suppliers.

MGO is magnesium oxide. But those who say that they are using MGO boards are really misstating their product, because MGO by itself isn't a cement. It requires the addition (generally) of a salt like MgCl (magnesium chloride) or MgSo4 (magnesium sulfate) to become a binding cement. So, technically they should be saying MOC (magnesium oxychloride) or MOS (magnesium oxysulfate). But, then, I may just be a little bit too nit-picky.
