Tensar Corporation will be making a significant investment in their Morrow, Georgia production facility where they manufacture geogrids such as their Triax line. The improvements will come online in 2012 and increase production capacity by 30%. Their Georgia plant services the U.S. demand for their product, with their U.K. and China plants servicing the rest of the globe. They indicate that they plan to have a similar production increase in their China plant, coming online in 2013. [Source: geosynthetica.net. Image: Tensar via Geosynthetica]
