WHO WE ARE
What three generations of ownership means in practice.
Three generations of family ownership means decisions made for decades, not quarters. Since Theo Rossi built the world's first synthetic flat strapping in 1957, Tapex has produced a world-first in every decade, from the Southern Hemisphere's first polypropylene extrusion, the first Australian plastic barricade fencing and the first underground detectable warning tape. The same thinking that produced those innovations drives every product the Group brings to market today.
