ATLANTA — July 1, 2014 — Tensar International Corporation, the global leader in geosynthetic site development technology, is pleased to announce an exciting change in its U.S. and Canadian-based commercial organization that will add local technical resources and expand support for Tensar’s broad portfolio of systems across its diverse customer base. This new organizational structure will help simplify and expand our engineering and project management capability across Tensar’s portfolio of site development solutions.
Since 1984, Tensar has maintained a commitment to advance site development solutions and technologies that optimize performance and maximize customer value. Tensar’s technology for Pavement Optimization, using TriAx Geogrid to dramatically improve roadway performance, is driving a significant increase in demand for its roadway solutions. Additionally, a similar increase in demand has occurred with Tensar’s grade separation market including the Ares Retaining Wall System.
The increased demand for our solutions gives Tensar the opportunity to increase and align its diverse technical and commercial teams, bringing this design and contracting expertise to the customer’s doorstep. “As we create a powerhouse of local technical know-how, our customers will feel the additional support focused on generating unique, value-added solutions, especially in Pavement Optimization,” said Dean Ditmar, Vice President and General Manager of Tensar, Western Hemisphere. “We also anticipate new opportunity development across all product lines and are pleased to be in the position to combine our commercial organizations to simplify and empower our local leadership to deliver value that supports our customers’ growth.”
