ABOUT US
In this decisive decade,
the construction industry must lead the way in decarbonizing civil and environmental infrastructure.
At Solmax, we are more than ready.


Let’s build infrastructure better.
Infrastructure empowers communities. Climate change is redefining the way it’s built.
Traditional materials like gravel, steel and concrete are being succeeded by geosynthetics, which are proven to be more resilient and less harmful to the environment. As the world leader in geosynthetics, our decades of engineering experience is being built-in to every sustainable project we enable.
In this critical time for the planet, we will keep challenging conventions and pioneering new solutions, because to make the world a better place, we have to build infrastructure better.
