History, present
The
history of the production of woven reinforced geosynthetics is based on the 60-year old tradition of the development and production of technical fabrics in Kordárna, a.s. The development and production of our own geosynthetics started at the beginning of the 1990s. The development and production of geosynthetics stemmed from the efforts of Kordárna to diversify their production program outside the area of rubber textiles to the area of reinforced geotextiles. At the beginning of the development, one of the main partners of the company was Polyfelt GmbH which distributed geogrids under the business name Rock® G.

PRESENT
At present, there is production of geosynthetics in Kordárna, a.s., as well as in Texiplast, a.s. In the production we use our experience and technological know-how for the production of technical fabrics. We produce a complete assortment of woven reinforced geogrids, geocomposites and geotextiles based on high-strength polyester and polypropylene. These geosynthetics are used, e.g. for stabilisation of non-stable beds, fillings and asphalt surfaces.
Geosynthetics from our production very quickly found their application in construction work in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and the Baltic countries, as well as Germany, Austria, Italy, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Denmark and Norway and other non-European countries.
Our high-quality production is certified according to ISO 9001 by the company Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance. On the basis of the positive results of audits by the German independent laboratory tBU Greven, the company Kordárna, a.s. is the holder of Quality Production Certificate No. 0799-CPD-19. We are also holders of the Czech Railways Certificate and the Permit Sheets of the Slovak Republic Railways. Our geogrids and geotextiles are marked on the basis of the European standard, every 5 metres.
Our objective is to become a reliable and serious partner for investors, designers, construction companies and all those who deal in the area of woven geosynthetics.
