Corporate technology

As a global operating company TenCate develops and produces functional materials with distinctive characteristics and added value. These materials contribute in a positive way to progress, especially social and environmental issues such as safety and protection, environmental benefits and saving energy. There might also be efficiency, logistics and other (costs) benefits for users of these materials. In a technology-driven world should risks for people, environment and equipment remain manageable wherever possible. Then, sustainable protection is our guidance.

Materials science
For the development and production of new functional materials TenCate draws from technological change and innovation. Both can be outside the core areas of TenCate. Because textile technology, chemical engineering and materials technology develop into materials science, new functional materials replace existing or future creations.

Enabling technologies
TenCate constantly identifies technological developments, so called enabling technologies. From this derive new materials, new solutions and new systems. On this basis, in the - near or far - future new product-market-technology combinations arise within our company.
