Columbia, Md. – The Maryland Manufacturing Extension Partnership, supporting and celebrating companies that invest in Maryland, is pleased to announce the growth of Tenax Corp., a Baltimore-based manufacturer of fencing and other containment products.

When it comes to plastic fences and barriers, Tenax’s products are simply the best. After setting the industry standard for more than 50 years, Tenax recently invested $4.5 million into its Baltimore headquarters in an effort to provide quicker and more efficient service to its customers, expand into new markets and increase its capabilities.
