DuPont™ Typar® SF is awarded the BUDMA 2007 Gold Medal

DuPont™ Typar® SF geotextile has been awarded a gold medal at the BUDMA 2007, the International Construction Fair held in Poznan, Poland. This prestigious award is given to innovative companies with engineered products complying with the highest requirements and the UN norms. The competition was entered by GRILTEX POLSKA SP. z o.o. – a Polish distributor of the geotextiles that are produced by DuPont in Luxembourg. DuPont™ Typar® SF is a geotextile used in the land construction business. Pioneered by DuPont, it has been providing durability and reliability all around the world for over 30 years. Offering the highest standards of performance, its applications include road and rail track construction and it’s also valued for basement drainage, protection against soil bank erosion and reinforcement for areas requiring dramatic land re-development. DuPont™ Typar® SF is produced according to the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. Robert Dawidowicz, who responsible for the geotextiles business in Poland comments, “This gold medal is a confirmation of the excellent work Griltex has been doing for 8 years now in Poland, where DuPont™ Typar® SF sales are growing year on year. The geotextile business in Poland faces several challenges, including active competition from small, local producers, but Poland is an increasingly key market since joining the European Union, with many projects to compete for, such as motorway and road building initiatives that are co-financed by the EU, so business is booming.”...
