Company Profile

Royal Ten Cate, the holding company for TenCate Geosynthetics North America based in the Netherlands, is over 300 years strong, having successfully consolidated and developed core markets to maximize value for investors and customers. Under Royal Ten Cate, TenCate Geosynthetics has locations in North America, Europe, and Asia, which consists of two commercial divisions.  These two divisions are TenCate Industrial Fabrics and TenCate Geosynthetics.

TenCate Industrial Fabrics

TenCate Industrial Fabrics commercial division serves the industrial textile fabrics market with four brands in North America:  TenCate Nicolon®, TenCate Geotube®,  and TenCate Permatron®.  Our markets include horticulture, agriculture, recreational, transportation/construction, containment, filtration, furniture/bedding, industrial nonwovens, specialty, dewatering, and aquaculture.  Our industrial fabric products and solutions surpass customer expectations, delivering high performance products to the markets we serve.

TenCate Geosynthetics

TenCate Geosynthetics commercial division serves the geosynthetics industry with three brands in North America:  TenCate Mirafi®, TenCate Miragrid®, and TenCate Geotube®.  We deliver turnkey system solutions for the transportation construction, mechanically stabilized earth, erosion control, waste management, water management and shoreline protection/marine structure construction markets.  Under these system solutions, we have a vast array of high performance geosynthetics that function for separation, filtration, soil reinforcement, erosion protection, sealing, stress relief, adhesive bonding, confinement, and drainage.

The market challenges us to continue delivering the most diverse line of industrial fabrics and geosynthetics in the world.  We accept that challenge by helping our customers achieve tangible results.  This fortifies our belief in the power of industrial fabrics and geosynthetic solutions.  It also strengthens our resolve to make a worldwide difference.  While other manufacturing companies resisted the opportunity to confront nature’s most severe problems in the world, TenCate Geosynthetics North America welcomed the challenge by developing innovative solutions to an unforeseen application.  TenCate Geosynthetics North America has helped not only itself through the development of a dike in Holland, but also its partners, to achieve results once thought impossible.  After 55 years, we have created the most sought after and diverse group of brands and materials than any other source in the world.
