Our Divisions

Tapex Industrial

The Tapex Packaging Solutions product range provides the original and best in twines for protection and containment across multiple applications.

Tapex has been a pioneer in packaging and containment systems since 1957, when it developed and manufactured synthetic flat strapping, an industry first in Australia. The Tapex® and Kinnears® brand names are synonymous with synthetic twines in the industrial sector, producing the right products for waste baling, food packaging and for moving pallets of goods in and from warehouses, for over 60 years.

DIGSAFE®

DIGSAFE® products provide solutions that warn, detect and protect Australia’s critical infrastructure assets.

DIGSAFE® is also a part of Tapex Industrial, supplying excavation safety solutions that reduce maintenance costs caused by unintended pipeline and cable strikes.  Third-party strikes on buried infrastructure have become an increasing issue as more utilities move underground and trenchless installation technologies are deployed.  At best, pipe or cable strikes are costly and disruptive – at worst, they can cause catastrophic damage and loss of life.

The DIGSAFE® range includes detectable warning tapes and meshes, hard cable cover, HDPE protection plates, marker posts and signage, RFID systems, tracer wires and rock shield.  Site safety products are also part of the Dig SAFE® range, including hi-viz barrier fencing, bunting and custom safety tapes to protect your workers from onsite hazards.

WARN, DETECT and PROTECT with DIGSAFE®!
