Our history
The evolution of synthetic granules into geomembranes in the mid-20th century opened opportunities for flexible and sustainable solutions. Membranes were used to manufacture silage covers, truck tarpaulins, greenhouses, slurry reservoirs, and water reservoirs. Today, these geomembranes have become indispensable in our world.
