TFI manufactures a wide range of geosynthetics – Techgrid knitted and PVC coated geogrids, TechGlass bitumen coated fibre-glass grids, TFI woven geotextiles, TechGeo nonwoven geotextiles, TechPave paving fabrics, TGC nonwoven composites, TechDrain pre-fabricated vertical drains, polymeric and metal gabions etc. These products have extensive applications for the construction of highways, railways, airports, ports, flyovers, road over rail bridges, waste disposal facilities, coastal protection, site development etc. Many product groups have the CE certification which is a prerequisite for export of product to Europe.

Geogrids are polymeric meshes with high tensile strength used to reinforce soils and other granular materials in various applications like reinforced soil retaining walls, steep slopes, embankments, pavements, rail track-beds etc. TFI was the first company to manufacture geogrids in India. Over the last six years, several millions of TechGrid geogrids have been used to reinforce India's infrastructure. Use of TechGrid geogrids have enabled the construction of approaches to flyovers, road over bridges and underpasses at far lower costs and in less time.

Techfab India has always strived to offer world-class products to its customers. The manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001:2008 certified and several product groups including TechGrid geogrids have CE certification. Now with the very prestigious BBA certification for its TechGrid geogrids, TFI has shown further proof of its unwavering commitment to excellence.

The British Board of Agrément (BBA) is one of the UK's most highly regarded construction industry approvals bodies, originally set up in 1966 by Government but now an independent not- for- profit organisation, issuing approvals for construction products and systems and providing inspection services in support of industry installer schemes. Agrément Certificates are the Gold Standard of product or system approvals: a rigorous and thorough examination of the product, its manufacture and installation – much more than a simple statement at one point of time. Agrément Certificate holders are subject to production surveillance throughout the life of their Certificate and customers can always be sure that they will get the BBA-agreed specification of product.

Based on a rigorous and stringent evaluation of all aspects of TechGrid geogrids – raw materials, manufacturing, quality control testing, performance testing, design and construction, BBA has awarded the Agrément certificate (No. 11/4882) for TechGrid geogrids to Techfab India Industries Ltd. With this Techgrid geogrids have joined the rank of an exclusive group of global brands with this prestigious certification.
