TeMa Technologies and Materials

What TeMa Technologies and Materials does

TeMa Technologies and Materials S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer of geosynthetic and construction materials headquartered in Vittorio Veneto, Italy, founded in 1993 (firmographic data lists 1998, but multiple first-party and company-history sources confirm 1993). The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IWIS Holding, a diversified industrial group, and is organized into three product divisions: Building Solutions (waterproofing, damp-proofing, drainage, and soil reinforcement for residential, commercial, and infrastructure construction), Geo Solutions (containment, reinforcement, drainage, and erosion control for environmental engineering works), and Interior Solutions (acoustic underlayments and interior waterproofing). Its portfolio spans HDPE geomembranes, drainage and bentonite geocomposites (T-Bentostop, T-Mix Drain, T-Kone series), woven polyester geogrids (T-Grid), synthetic and natural-fiber erosion control mats (T-Mat, T-Juta, T-Mat PC 450), bituminous membranes and shingles (Cartabit, Tegolite, T-Roof), vapour membranes (T-Vapo), fiberglass meshes, gabions, and nonwoven geotextiles (Tematex).

The company manufactures using in-house recycled raw materials sourced through its wholly-owned recycling subsidiaries EcoTeMa (Russia) and Replastica (Romania), which process post-consumer HDPE and polypropylene. Approximately 50% of production energy is sourced from renewables (three photovoltaic plants and an 800 kWp cogenerator at the IWIS Holding level). TeMa sells through a direct, project-based B2B motion targeting construction contractors, engineers, architects, and project developers via its website inquiry forms and 'Start a Project' CTA, with sales organized around technical specification support rather than distributor or retail channels. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and holds EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certifications through SGS for multiple product lines.

The company is privately held under IWIS Holding with no disclosed institutional, VC, or public shareholders, and no revenue figures are publicly disclosed. Operations span Italy (HQ), Russia, and Romania, with products marketed internationally and EPD-certified. Luciano Mazzer has served as Managing Director since September 2018, and the company adopted Italy's D.Lgs. 231/2001 governance model and a Code of Ethics in March 2026.

Core offering

TeMa Technologies and Materials manufactures and sells geosynthetic construction materials through two divisions: Building Solutions (roofing underlays, vapour membranes, bitumen shingles, and residential waterproofing products) and Geo Solutions (geogrids, drainage geocomposites, bentonitic waterproofing systems, geomats for erosion control, and gabions for civil, geotechnical, and environmental engineering). The company also runs a vertically integrated post-consumer plastics recycling operation that feeds raw material back into its manufacturing lines, and publishes EPD-certified lifecycle data for its products.

Product overview

TeMa Technologies and Materials offers a comprehensive portfolio of construction and geotechnical products organized into Building Solutions and Geo Solutions divisions. The Building Solutions division provides products for protection, waterproofing, drainage, ground reinforcement, and damp-proofing in residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications. Key product lines include: bitumen papers (Cartabit) and sheets (Tegolite) for temporary waterproofing; studded membranes (T-Kone series, TMD series) for mechanical protection and drainage; bentonite geocomposites (T-Bentostop) for waterproofing; drainage geocomposites (T-Drain, T-Mix Drain series) for water management; vapour membranes (T-Vapo series) for moisture control; fiberglass meshes (T-Fiberglass series) for reinforcement; erosion control mats (T-Mat, T-Juta) for soil protection; gabions (T-Gabion) and geogrids (T-Grid) for retaining walls; bitumen shingles (T-Roof series) for roofing; nonwoven textiles (Tematex); and accessories. The Geo Solutions division focuses on environmental engineering applications including geocomposites, geogrids, erosion control mats, and facings. All products are designed for low environmental impact with a focus on sustainability, recycling, and circular economy principles.
