Geofabrics Limited was formed in 1990 at the time when the landfill industry was making the transition from dilute and disperse to engineered containment. The use of geomembrane barriers to provide this containment meant that high-performance protection would be required to prevent their puncture.

There was no manufacturers of this type of geotextiles in the UK and the Company was established to fill this void. Geofabrics now supplies a wide range of geosynthetics into a number of markets across the world.
