About HUESKER

HUESKER Synthetic GmbH, headquartered in Gescher (North Rhine-Westphalia), has been developing and producing technical textiles since 1861 and is today one of the internationally active manufacturers of geosynthetics. The product portfolio includes geogrids, woven geotextiles, geocomposites, geotextiles, geosynthetic clay liners, geosystems as well as nonwovens of the NaBento brand. Production is carried out from synthetic yarns and plastics on weaving machines and nonwoven lines; around 40 million square metres of high-tensile-strength geosynthetics are produced annually. In addition to earthworks and geotechnical engineering, road and hydraulic engineering, landfill construction and mining, the company supplies agriculture with barn climate systems (Lubratec), textile doors and biogas storage systems, and industry with textile hall solutions, shading nets and thermoplastic lightweight composites (W8SVR Neolaminate). With around 500 employees, its own production sites in Germany, the USA and Brazil as well as subsidiaries on four continents, HUESKER delivers to over 60 countries. An accredited testing laboratory ensures ongoing product quality.
