Outdoor Flame Obsession

It is no secret that the UK leads the landscaping industry. That’s why when we wanted something new and exciting to bring to the US landscaping market, we asked our sister company, Tenax UK for some ideas. Their marketing research favored Outdoor Flames. Since we premiered the Outdoor Flames at two national tradeshows, we have had nothing but excitement and orders. “It’s about time someone brought something new to the market,” commented one retailer. Outdoor Flames take the concept of romance and relaxation from inside to the backyard. Once more, the Outdoor Flames – designed with a roman architect theme -- are constructed from sturdy concrete and plaster, and retail from $16 to $18. The flame, which is created from a special wickless block of paraffin wax, is unlike traditional candles and oil in that it is a very vibrant, soft, and enduring flame. The flame blocks come in six scents - jasmine, apple, vanilla, citrus, rose, cinnamon, and citronella. Currently, the Outdoor Flames are only available thru distributors. Look from them at your local retail store next spring.

This includes geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering, general engineering, brownfields, construction engineering, transportation engineering, structural engineering, and environmental engineering.

A Geocomposite With Attitude

"What makes a better geocomposite?" is the question that has led Tenax engineers to design a new geocomposite called Tenseal GM, which combines impermeable containment of liquids, high-fow drainage, and filtration all into one product - a first-of-it's-kind. It's an integral system designed and manufactured as a true HDPE 40 mils liner, incorporating a state of the art high flow 280 mils Triplanar composite and a filter textile ranging from 6 to 10 ounces, and available in 6.7 or 12.5 foot widths.

Tenax Introduces Fresh, New Label Designs

All of Tenax’s fencing, nets, and lawn & gardening products will sport a new look this fall with the debut of an updated, contemporary label that was partially designed by the company’s CEO and COO. “It is just a cleaner look. You just might want to frame it,” comments Tenax’s marketing manager, Preston Reed. The idea of the new label is part of a Tenax branding move to create a recognizable look throughout the company. “If you see a Tenax brochure, ad, direct-mailer, specification sheet, ink pen, etc., they will share the same ‘dna’,” comments COO Giovanni Capra. A dna that the new label reveals has lots of clean white space, a huge image, uncluttered verbiage -- all accented with a strong but smart Myriad font. “In short,” comments, Preston, “the simplicity of the new label reflects the quality and power of the products it skins.”

TENAX Corporation’s 2007 General Sales Division Meeting - Baltimore, Maryland

Tenax COO, Giovanni Capra, began the meeting with a healthy dose of praise and a real time perspective of where Tenax has been, where it is, and where it will be. Throughout the two day meeting, each regional sales manager presented reports detailing accomplishments, goals, and S.W.O.T. (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunity, Threats) analyses. In the area of strengths, there was a consensus that Tenax has a very strong presence in both the national and international markets, with such retailers as Ace, Home Depot, Lowes, TSC, Mills Fleet Farm, and International Sources.

From time to time, the CEO, Giulio DeGiuseppe, interjected valuable solutions, and took notes on those concerns that would need more study. On the final day – some 20 or so coffees later – a list of ‘action-items’ were assigned, all with the aim of positioning Tenax in an even stronger stance. Afterwards, dinner was held at Kobe Restaurant, in Owings Mills, Maryland.
