Grupo TDM

What Grupo TDM does

Grupo TDM is a privately held Peruvian civil engineering materials company founded in 1992 (originally as Tecnología de Materiales S.A., TEMATSA) and headquartered in Chorrillos, Lima. The company operates two integrated product divisions: TDM Geosintéticos, which manufactures and supplies geosynthetic products including geocells, geomembranes, geogrids, geotextiles, geonets, GCLs, geotubes, and erosion-control systems; and TDM Asfaltos, which produces conventional and polymer-modified asphalts under the Betutec brand (including Warmmix and HIMA variants), emulsions, cold mix, the SELLATEC crack sealant, soil stabilizers (Stab-Soil), and a road-safety line of certified barriers and impact attenuators. The company also operates a Technology Development Center with Superpave, Mechanistic Performance, and Mix Design laboratories that perform ASTM, ISO, and EN standardized testing, and holds research collaborations with universities in the United States and Brazil.

Grupo TDM serves enterprise customers in the mining sector (tailings dams, leaching pads, lithium evaporation ponds, mine closures), road and highway infrastructure (pavement, bridges, airports, urban roads), hydraulic infrastructure (dams, channels, reservoirs), and environmental management (landfills, leachate control). Reference projects include Jorge Chávez International Airport, Rutas de Lima (~400,000 m² pavement intervention), the Puente Montalvo Consortium bridge reconstruction, Mexico's Tren Maya acoustic barrier system, and Minera Poderosa (the company's first mining sector sale in 1994). The company is the first in Latin America to obtain a KIWA-certified Environmental Product Declaration for geocells and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, GAI-LAP, and OEA certifications.

The business model is built on direct enterprise field sales through five commercial offices across Peru, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, supported by manufacturing plants in Peru and Brazil and exclusive regional distributors. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of geosynthetic and asphalt products, professional installation and assembly services with specialized personnel and equipment operating throughout Latin America, and project-specific technical support. The go-to-market motion is specification-driven, targeting large infrastructure tenders in mining, road, and hydraulic sectors. Geographic expansion has been entirely organic and country-by-country since 2006, complemented by two joint venture manufacturing partnerships (Maccaferri del Perú in 1999 and Polytex Perú in 2007, the latter's geomembrane factory having been acquired in 2016).

Core offering

Grupo TDM manufactures and supplies geosynthetic products (geocells, geomembranes, geogrids, geotextiles, geonets, geocomposites, GCLs, and related geoproducts) and asphalt products (conventional and polymer-modified asphalts, emulsions, warm-mix, crack sealants, soil stabilizers, and road-safety systems). The company provides integrated engineering solutions combining products, professional installation, and technical support for mining, road, hydraulic, and environmental infrastructure projects across Latin America.

Product overview

Grupo TDM is a diversified engineering solutions company operating two main divisions: Geosintéticos (Geosynthetics) and Asfaltos (Asphalts). The Geosintéticos division manufactures and supplies geosynthetic products including geoceldas (geocells), geomembranas (geomembranes), geomallas (geogrids), geotextiles, geonet, geocomposites, GCL, geotubo, hydrobolsas, drainage cells, and geoproducts such as dynamic barriers, corrugated metal structures, and high-strength steel meshes. The division serves applications in waterproofing, environmental management, hydraulic infrastructure, soil improvement, stability and containment, erosion control, and fluid conduction/drainage. The Asfaltos division produces asphalt products including conventional asphalt, polymer-modified asphalts (Betutec line with Warmmix and Hima variants), asphalt emulsions, cold mix, crack sealant (SELLATEC), adhesion enhancers, and soil stabilizers (Stab-Soil), alongside road safety products including certified metal barriers, impact attenuators, and vertical signage. Additional products include acoustic barriers and vitrified panels for architectural applications. The company provides installation services and operates a Technology Development Center with specialized laboratories for quality control and mix design. TDM operates with 5 commercial offices, manufacturing plants in Peru and Brazil, and distributors across Latin America.
