What Polyfabrics does

Polyfabrics is an Australian B2B distributor of geosynthetic and civil engineering materials, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Prospect, with a staff of 51-100. It is operated as a subsidiary brand within Jaybro Group Pty Ltd (ACN 159 122 488), a diversified Australian building-products group whose portfolio also includes Global Synthetics, Delnorth, Safe Direction, Architectural Formliners Australia, and Specialised Force.

The company's core technology is polymer-based geosynthetics: needle-punched nonwoven and woven geotextiles (mastaTEX), biaxial and uniaxial geogrids (mastaGRID, TerraGrid), HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes and geosynthetic clay liners (GEOmasta, Bentoliner), HDPE cellular confinement systems (EROWeb), dimpled sheet and strip drainage composites, coir and turf erosion control mats (TEC Mat, EROmasta), and stormwater retention/detention modules (mastaTANK). Approximately 30+ SKUs are organized under 15+ proprietary sub-brands and grouped across 10 product categories (geotextile, geogrids, drainage, lining, erosion control, geocells, coastal protection, sediment control, paving/grass, and tree planting). Selected technical components include 200-600 kN uniaxial PET geogrids, ISO 9001 quality system references, FRAS-coated mining grids, and Concrete Canvas GCCM partnerships.

The business model is direct, project-based B2B sales of one-time physical-material purchases to civil contractors, mining operators, government road authorities, and landscaping firms across Australia, with pricing conducted on a quote basis (no public price list) and procurement via phone (1300 287 484) or website inquiry. Distribution leverages the Jaybro Group network, supplemented by LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, a technical blog, a CPD-accredited webinar program, and case-study content aimed at engineer-specifiers. Notable deployed projects include Snowy Hydro 2.0 (HDPE Bio-Liner), the Mona Vale Road upgrade (TEC Mat Coir), and a NSW Government roadside gully drain repair (TerraGrid Concrete Mattress).

Core offering

Polyfabrics supplies geosynthetic materials including geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, geocells, drainage composites, erosion control products, and coastal protection solutions for civil engineering, construction, mining, and infrastructure applications. The company sells branded product lines such as mastaTEX, TerraGrid, mastaGRID, EROWeb, GEOmasta, and TerraStop directly to contractors, engineering firms, mining operators, and government infrastructure bodies across Australia. It also provides technical support, CPD programs, and application engineering assistance as part of its offering.

Product overview

Polyfabrics is a geosynthetic products supplier operating as part of the Jaybro Group, offering a comprehensive portfolio of civil engineering and construction materials. The product portfolio comprises multiple interconnected product lines: geotextiles (mastaTEX brand in various grades), geogrids (mastaGRID and TerraGrid series for reinforcement), drainage systems (AGFLO pipes, TerraDrain sheet drains, FREDrain strip filters, DRAINmasta DrainCel panels, and mastaTANK stormwater modules), lining systems (GEOmasta HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes, Bentoliner GCLs, Concrete Canvas), erosion control products (TerraMat, TEC Mat, EROmasta, EROWeb geocells), coastal protection (FastRock gabions, SoftRock sand containers), sediment control (TerraStop silt fences/curtains, SILTmasta bags, EcoLog coir products), and paving/grass solutions. This is not a unified software platform but rather a multi-brand physical products catalogue serving civil construction, landscaping, mining, highway, rail, coastal, and environmental engineering applications across Australia.

Direct peers

• HUESKER: German manufacturer of high-strength geogrids, geotextiles, and geosynthetics used in road, rail, and soil reinforcement applications — directly overlapping with Polyfabrics' mastaGRID and TerraGrid geogrid lines.
• NAUE GmbH & Co. KG: German-headquartered geosynthetics manufacturer with comparable product breadth across geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, and erosion control — a typical European-spec competitor bidding into the same Australian infrastructure tenders.
• Thrace Group: Greek technical textiles and geosynthetics producer offering woven and nonwoven geotextiles, geogrids, and erosion control products — competing with Polyfabrics' mastaTEX geotextiles and erosion control portfolio.
• Solmax: Global geomembrane and geosynthetics manufacturer whose HDPE and LLDPE liners directly compete with Polyfabrics' GEOmasta lining systems in containment, mining, and water infrastructure applications.
• Global Synthetics: Australian geosynthetics distributor and sister brand within Jaybro Group, offering geotextiles, geomembranes, and erosion control solutions to the same civil infrastructure customers as Polyfabrics — making it the closest internal competitor and benchmark.
• Maccaferri: Italian-headquartered global supplier of gabions, geocomposites, and erosion control systems — directly comparable to Polyfabrics' EROmasta FastRock gabions and erosion control mat product lines.
• Strata Geosystems (Strata Systems): US-based geogrid and soil reinforcement specialist whose biaxial and uniaxial geogrids compete head-to-head with Polyfabrics' mastaGRID and TerraGrid ranges in roadway and mining applications.

Regional players

• Terram (Berry Global): UK-based geosynthetics brand under Berry Global, focused on geotextiles and ground stabilisation products for civil and landscaping projects — overlaps with Polyfabrics' geotextile offering but primarily serves European markets.
• Atarfil: Spanish manufacturer of HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes for containment, mining, and water projects — directly comparable to Polyfabrics' GEOmasta lining systems but operating primarily outside Australia.

Broad incumbents

• Tensar International: Global geosynthetics incumbent and the leading geogrid manufacturer, serving civil, transportation, and mining infrastructure markets with a much broader product portfolio and R&D capability than Polyfabrics.
