North American Green
North American Green, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tensar Corporation, is headquartered in Evansville, Indiana. The business was initially formed in 1985.

North American Green is rapidly expanding with a network of Erosion Control Specialists distributing erosion control products throughout the world. This expansion is made possible through the company's commitment to developing and marketing the highest quality, most effective erosion control products available, supported by unmatched customer service and technical assistance.
