TenCate Geosynthetics produces and supplies geotextiles and geogrids for applications in civil engineering. Under reputable brand names such as TenCate Geolon®, TenCate Polyfelt®, TenCate Miragrid® and TenCate Geotube®, the products are deployed around the world. 

TenCate Geosynthetics products are among the quality products. They meet the highest quality standards. For example, geotextiles offer high resistance to deformation, enabling construction on poorly load-bearing substrates. They provide optimum tensile strength at extremely low elongation. Yet the success of TenCate Geosynthetics is not only in the high quality of the products, according to Tom Schothuis, engineer of TenCate Geosynthetics Netherlands. "They are quality products, that's for sure. But the strength of TenCate Geosynthetics also lies in the personal approach to its customers."

Personalized approach. Worldwide

By this, Schothuis is referring to the way global distribution is arranged at TenCate Geosynthetics. "The TenCate site I work for is located in the Netherlands," he gives as an example. "And in the Netherlands I know the local situations and substrates. Like my colleagues at home and abroad, I have a geotechnical background and know what I'm talking about. So I can give expert advice, but I also join our clients during tenders to prepare the Economically Most Advantageous Tender with them. I can take measurements for them, make designs and drawings, and all in their own practical language. But my colleagues in America and Asia do the same. TenCate Geosynthetics literally and figuratively speaks the language of its customers, always and everywhere." 

Widely applicable

TenCate Geosynthetics products are used in a wide range of fields. They perform valuable services at bridge abutments, dike reinforcements, settlement-free constructions such as pile mattresses, wind farms and sidings for heavy (hoisting) equipment. "Precisely because of the many possible applications, expert advice is important. We offer woven and non-woven textiles, geogrids and geocomposites, among others, and each product has its own strength. We are happy to explain those."
