Kuala Lumpur, 23 April 2025 — Maccaferri Malaysia proudly participated as a Bronze Sponsor in the Seminar on Geosynthetics, organized by the Geotechnical Engineering Technical Division (GETD) of the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), and supported by MyIGS and the Malaysian Geotechnical Society (MGS). Held at the Connexion Conference & Event Centre, Nexus, the event brought together approximately 80 engineers and geotechnical professionals from across the industry.

The seminar offered a comprehensive exploration of the latest advancements in geosynthetic materials and applications. Key topics included reinforced fills, ground improvement with prefabricated vertical drains (PVD), stabilization of pavement layers, geosynthetics for coastal protection, and environmental containment systems. Through a full-day programme, the event emphasized the critical role of geosynthetics in delivering sustainable, cost-effective, and high-performance solutions in modern civil engineering.

At our exhibition booth, Maccaferri showcased the Paramesh system, our signature solution for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) structures. Designed with high-strength geogrids and modular facing elements, Paramesh provides engineers with a versatile, durable option for slope reinforcement and retaining wall construction. The system attracted significant attention from attendees seeking innovative approaches to soil stability and infrastructure reliability.

We are honored to have been part of this key industry gathering and extend our thanks to the event organizers and all participants.
