Buitink Technology in a nutshell
Buitink Technology specialises in the conception, development, manufacture, delivery and assembly of products and solutions based around flexible, lightweight plastics such as sailcloth, sheeting and technical textiles.
Buitink Technology is a highly innovative manufacturing company where sustainability is a key driver. We sell our products all over the world (>70% are sent overseas), from Japan to the United States.
We mainly serve three markets that we have defined as architecture, industry and leisure.
Technology Center
Architecture
Lightweight textile architecture for temporary, semi-permanent and permanent use.
We design, develop, engineer, manufacture and assemble lightweight structures and awnings made of sailcloth, textile or sheeting. These include stretched membrane structures, silo covers, ETFE air cushion roofs, single-layer ETFE roofs, textile facade cladding, balustrade cladding, stretch ceilings and stretch walls (which can be used to control acoustics).
Industry
Flexible smart products, inflatable or otherwise, and custom solutions made from sheeting or technical textiles for industrial applications.
We develop, manufacture and assemble bespoke solutions and products made of sailcloth, sheeting or technical textiles for industrial applications. Examples include lifting cushions, catch bags for righting HGVs, inflatable valves, sewer valves, inflatable floats, expansion joints, inflatable work platforms, inflatable marine airbags for moving ships, mobile liquid-proof floors, acoustic walls and cladding and much more. If you have a problem, ask us what we can do to solve it!
Leisure
Lightweight demountable solutions using sailcloth, sheeting and textiles for events, trade fairs, exhibitions, hospitality and festivals.
We conceive, develop, manufacture and assemble bespoke solutions and products made of sailcloth, sheeting or technical textiles for the events and hospitality sectors.
Examples include the POV (Modular Mesh House), inflatable artworks, flex tents, stretch tents, hospitality tents, modular beach tents, pavilions, festival tents, queue awnings, sports court canopies and much more.
All these applications are lightweight, prefabricated, demountable, and their compactness makes them easy to store, ship and assemble all over the world.
Is Buitink Technology sustainable? Yes!
Is Buitink Technology a sustainable company? Yes! We think so, even though we still have a long way to go and there are many more opportunities open for us to become even more eco-friendly.
Our aim is to serve customers who are or want to be sustainable by using smart products, such as an inflatable chimney stack valve that prevents heat loss during factory shutdowns.
We also come up with, develop and manufacture products that provide a sustainable alternative to existing solutions. For example, there are many situations in which our lifting cushions are able to do the job of heavy, environmentally harmful cranes.
You can find many more examples of smart, sustainable and lightweight solutions on our website.
