Tendo designs and manufactures steel scaffolding systems for industrial and construction applications. Based in Zaragoza, Spain, the company provides two scaffolding models – frame and multi-directional – which are inter-compatible in terms of height. These systems can be adapted seamlessly to meet the needs of the projects.
The frame scaffolding, called Goya, is easy to use and transport. Available in 0.70 m width, the system has few elements for quick set-up and operations, thus saving on the equipment and time required for installation and removal. This lightweight, compact pre-fabricated frame scaffolding is also compatible with Tendo’s Multi system in some configurations.
Tendo’s multi-directional scaffolding, called Multi, is fitted with eight different joints on a single surface. The width of the scaffolding can be adapted to the desired measurements, and the structure can be adjusted to all types of facades and work sites. This system is ideal for installing scaffolding towers with or without wheels for moving them.
The Multi system is compatible with all possible configurations for construction, restoration, renovation, industrial maintenance, etc. It offers an option of 180° assembly for each connection, as well as a wide range of components. In addition, the structure is robust, featuring a precise assembly and built-in locking system, and is equipped with high-resistance guides (galvanised components) with a diameter of 48.3 mm.
Since 1990, Tendo has been serving customers in the Spanish construction and industrial sector, supplying them with tailor-made scaffolding solutions that comply with relevant standards and regulations. The company said its products are also used in some markets in North Africa and Latin America. In 2016, Tendo became part of the French-based Frénéhard & Michaux group, a major provider of access and safe working-at-height solutions.
All Frénéhard & Michaux group companies possess a high-level of ‘materials’ expertise focusing on aluminium and steel, with the same approach to height. By being part of the group, Tendo now has the opportunity to grow in industrial and construction markets, and further develop its products and services. This partnership also allows Tendo to reinforce its core business and create a synergy with other companies within the group.
Note: SEAC visited Tendo’s facility in June 2024, as part of a press event organised by ANMOPYC in collaboration with ICEX (the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade).
