1962
TENAX produced the first extruded tubular netting in polypropylene
TENAX has always had the characteristic of responding to market
requests with products that are totally functional in terms of
needs. A clear demonstration of this is extruded tubular netting
in polypropylene, a development that allowed TENAX to brilliantly
fulfill many specific needs, starting with those of the food industry.
TENAX nets for the packing of Bologna sausage-meat (Mortadella)
quickly proved themselves to be an indispensable product for use
in salami factories.
1964
TENAX utilised high-density polyethylene for fencing
In the mid-sixties TENAX was the world's> top company in the
manufacture of rhomboidal mesh fencing in high-density polyethylene.
The specific application field for such products widened to a potential
that could not be envisaged before that time.
1968
TENAX applied bi-expanded netting in the nursery-gardening field
TENAX's development commitment directed to the agricultural sector
is rich in awards and products that have drastically revolutionised
nursery-gardening production techniques, in protecting crops and
in harvesting systems. One of the most important and most appreciated
is the Hortonova support net for flowers and vegetables - its name
identifies it with this application procedure in this sector. It
was a decisive step forward from the traditional systems or the
use of metal supports.
1973
TENAX offered bi-expanded extruded netting as an alternative to
metal
The range of extruded fencing products was widened thanks to TENAX.
The original TENAX longitudinal and transversal stretching technology
made a fundamental contribution to this development. It significantly
increased the resistance, strength and reliability of the netting,
going so far as to achieve similar characteristics to metal netting.
TENAX opened up a new manner of resolving fencing problems with
its launch of Cintoflex bi-oriented netting.
1980
TENAX gained world-wide fame with its orange netting for building
sites
The modern building site has become increasingly important for TENAX
in its commitment to research and production. It is not by chance
that the examples of supremacy that TENAX gained in the construction
industry are just as important as those gained in the agricultural
and geo-technical field. Its orange netting is an emblem of the
Group's continued collaboration with companies working in the construction
industry, and it has become the symbol of open sites and work in
progress.
1985
TENAX created an innovative line of integral geogrids
New technological progress enriched the range of TENAX products,
marking a new stage in the path of evolution for plastic netting.
Overcoming the limitations of traditional welded, woven and punched
grids, TENAX patented an innovative moulding and continuous expansion
technology for integral geogrids.
1989
TENAX created a new standard in geoNETS for drainage
In order to respond to the increasingly complex requirements of
modern solid waste dumps, TENAX was the first to create a drainage
geonet with a width of up to 4 metres - double those on the market
at that time. Thanks to the speed of their installation and the
cost-reduction benefit they offered, these products became true
reference standards in North America.
The Nineties - TENAX presented
new civil engineering products
During the Nineties TENAX invested a lot of resources and energy
in research aimed at creating new products in the civil engineering
and geotechnical field, in order to resolve specific ecological
and environmental issues. For example, in order to resolve the problem
of drainage in controlled waste sites, TENAX invented Tendrain,
an innovative product made up of a three-dimensional structure with
a drainage capacity ten times higher than any other net. This technology
was quickly protected by a variety of international patents.
2000 onwards- TENAX is
directing its technological know how to serve its increasingly marked
customer focus
No longer products, but solutions -this is the logic that TENAX
has been developing over recent years, using its own exclusive technological
know how to serve an increasingly marked customer focus. This translates
into a refining of its ability to understand, and in some cases
anticipate customer needs, and the desire to open up new channels
of communication using its own marketing and technical/production
experience. TENAX is also focused on gathering increasing knowledge
of applications of its products and is adding new resources to support
related sales. At the same time, the Group is continuing to invest
in research and experimentation. It is continuing with scientific
collaborations and synergies with those establishments that are
concerned with environmental protection in particular, and is participating
in projects aimed at creating products for ecologically-compatible
progress.
