2017: We turn 30 HOME PRODUCTS PROJECTS ACCESSORIES CONTACTS IT IS OUR ACTIONS THAT WRITE OUR HISTORY MISSION & PHILOSOPHY BUSINESS ORGANIZATION SERVICES QUALITY' CERTIFICATIONS ISO 9001 - CE - SOA 30 YEARS OF HISTORY ENVIRONMENT REFERENCES THE REVOLUTION OF CANVAS COVERS TENSOTEND TODAY The Tensotend plant occupies an area of over 10,000 square meters and hosts over 90,000 square meters of marquees, tensile structures, flooring, stages, air conditioning and heating systems for the rental of covers and marquees for events, conventions, fashion shows, parties and parties. In addition to the rental of marquees for events, Tensotend produces marquees and marquees for sale in Italy and abroad . Tensotend has embraced the concept of the chain entirely managed internally, this concept is the only one that guarantees the quality of the products and services offered. It all began with a trip on a sailing boat; sailing fascinated our founder, to the point of pushing him, as a boy, to a workshop of a master sailmaker. He learned to sew, cut, give complex curved shapes to those canvas triangles, capable, with the power of the wind and with the right shape, to make a boat sail fast. A few years later, during his architectural studies, he treasured that experience and realized that those sheets and those shapes stable in the wind, light, and in themselves aesthetic, could be used for other purposes, thus the first roofs with Tensile structure were born. membrane . After the first membrane tensile structures, our founder understood the need to equip these roofs with a non-invasive supporting structure that was light and easy to assemble. Here, too, he took inspiration from the aluminum masts normally used to support the sails of boats and, using the same fixing systems, he created the first aluminum support structure specific for the canvas, thus the first marquees were born , it was the year 1987. Canvas, like aluminum, are materials that are suitably designed and are well suited to meet the needs of light, aesthetic and functional coverings . These characteristics, adopted during the architectural studies, are still today the guiding principles of all our creations and installations . The ease of assembly, combined with its aesthetics, found a natural outlet in the use of these covers in street events, conventions, fashion shows and weddings. The great requests for set-ups, parties and conventions of the 80s, give immediate development to the "TENSOTEND" which produces and designs Tensile structures and Tensile structures by implementing all those accessories and customized complements for large events. At the end of the 90s the large number of structures always ready in stock and the new working needs require a larger headquarters and with the occasion the whole company is reorganized with divided departmentsin: production, metal carpentry warehouse, sheet cutting and packaging, sheeting washing and warehouse, loading and unloading area. The reorganized operational structure, combined with an ever increasing updating and innovation, bear fruit and soon the 4,000 meters of the 90s headquarters are no longer sufficient, so in the mid-2000s the need for even larger spaces increases. A new social company acquires the exploitation of the "TENSOTEND" brand, giving a new impulse and moving to today's headquarters in Peschiera Borromeo.
