Production network

The prodution capacity of TENAX plants
Every year in TENAX production plants located in Italy and the United States, over 19,000 tons of plastic netting are manufactured, in all sizes, mesh configurations and colours, for a wide variety of end-uses and applications. Unsurpassed production capacity has been made this possible by the on-going investments made by TENAX in the most up-to-date plant and process technology. It presently consists of 63 extrusion lines, 9 composite production lines, 42 longitudinal stretching machines and 10 transverse stretching machines.

Flexibility of production lines
As well as having detailed knowledge of all extrusion processes, TENAX also benefits from its exclusive internal technological knowledge. Backed strongly by these resources, TENAX designs and builds extremely flexible production systems which are capable of being adapted to operating in different ways, according to the specific product to be manufactured.
This distinctive characteristic translates into a range of netting that is unrivalled, in terms of size, type of mesh, and raw materials employed (polypropylene and polyethylene), as is borne out by the 2,000 plus products that TENAX is able to offer.

Automated continuous cycle equipment
At TENAX, automation of the process acts as a guarantee of consistent finished product quality.
A sophisticated monitoring system applied to all automated production equipment makes continual checks on every product batch. The data it provides allow the process to be kept under constant control, with consequent benefits for both production planning and quality control.
