In 2005, Hanes Companies, Inc., a division of Leggett & Platt, created the Hanes Geo Components division to service the geosynthetic and erosion control market in North America. Since then, Hanes Geo has rapidly expanded their distribution network through the acquisition of top regional distributors and by launching several new locations. Today, the Hanes Geo network includes 48 distribution centers fully stocked with geosynthetic, erosion control, and SWPPP materials relevant to each local market’s specifications.
