Geotextiles
Mattex’s modern, state-of-the-art weaving equipment offers a tremendous advantage to geotextile customers due to the high speed of our yarn and fabric production and our consistent high quality, with roll after roll uniformity. Also, Mattex recruited geosynthetic experts, with up to 25 years of geotextile experience, to direct the development, manufacturing and marketing of our geotextiles.

Mattex enters the geosynthetic market with two products, meeting the AASHTO specification M 288 Class 1 and Class 3 wovens. These woven geotextiles are used for separation and stabilization of pavements and unpaved roads, erosion control, reinforcement of earthen structures, and for separation and support in other civil engineering applications.

Our research and development resources will allow us to rapidly expand into the production of a wide variety of other woven geotextiles, for applications such as filtration, high strength reinforcement, and shoreline protection.

Mattex’s vision is to rapidly grow the geotextile business and to expand into the manufacture and distribution of other geosynthetic products. We will become a significant member of the worldwide geosynthetic community. We are currently seeking dedicated geotextile distributors, in the United States and around the world, interested in growing their business with ours.
