About Us
Providing Tomorrow’s Technical Solutions Today!
TCU Industries is leading the international stage in the development and processing of woven polypropylene and polyethylene. For nearly two decades TCU Industries has specialized in the design and implementation of hybrid woven polypropylene composites in North America.
TCU understands the importance of developing and creating high quality materials for our customers.
Therefore, we make sure we set the bar to the highest standard in the industry.
TCU has set the stage globally by using self reinforced composite materials that withstand the test of time. That alone is what sets us apart from our competitors.
We have developed an efficient process that is unique to the composites industry. This allows us to offer our customers the ability to process their own materials or we can process the materials for them.
TCU Industries vision is to provide our customers with the most effective and highest quality finishes worldwide.
