Transaction will expand company's range of products in civil engineering, road infrastructure, hydraulic and environmental works
April 26, 2021

Associate Editor at Nonwovens Industry
Solmax, a global leader in the production of high-quality polyethylene geomembranes for industrial and environmental applications, has reached an agreement with Koninklijke Ten Cate (the Netherlands) on the acquisition of TenCate Geosynthetics, a global provider of geosynthetics and industrial fabrics. Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and Fonds de solidarité FTQ, Solmax’s long-term financial partners, are both investing in this transaction. “This is the joining of two leading companies in their respective segments, recognized globally for the quality of their products and services, bringing their geosynthetic products together under the same roof for the first time. This transaction will increase their products’ use in civil engineering, road infrastructure, hydraulic and environmental works,” says Jean-Louis Vangeluwe, president of Solmax. “This is a game changer in the history of geosynthetic manufacturers that develop lesser-known engineered products that are essential to protecting the environment and developing infrastructure projects.” “I am highly pleased to position our company alongside Solmax. We both are among the leaders in our respective segments and now we will join together to create a stronger global leader in geosynthetics. The long-term vision of Solmax around sustainability aligns very well with that of TenCate Geosynthetics, and I am energized to lead my team confidently into this new business environment where we can contribute even more value together,” says Wally Moore, CEO of TenCate Geosynthetics. “I’m delighted to see the family grow again. The addition of TenCate Geosynthetics to Solmax will have a positive overall effect on the geosynthetics sectors. Together, with our products, services and available resources, we will be able to make an impact on the quality of lives of individuals and society as a whole,” concludes Jacques Côté, founder and executive chairman of the Board of Solmax. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021 and is subject to customary approvals by regulatory authorities.
