Our History
In 2004, Tensoshade™ was founded as a one-man entrepreneurship operating with limited available hours. Based out of San Antonio, Texas, its initial clientele list began as an e-commerce business by Irving Allande, a native Texan and architectural designer. His interest in the Tensile Structures and Membrane Industry, also known as Fabric Architecture, began from a background of family architects.
It was in early 2009 when Tensoshade™ was established as a Limited Liability Company and full-time operation started on a progressive schedule. Since then Tensoshade™ and its strategic partnership alliances have designed and installed thousands of Tensile Membrane structures in the USA, Mexico, and Central America.
Today, Tensoshade™ is one of the leading Architectural Tensile Fabric Systems companies in the Americas, setting a new precedent and providing continuing education to its partners through a Master’s degree of Engineering in Tensile Membrane Structures.
The company’s vision is to grow into worldwide markets providing the design of amazing membrane structures, weather protection, and comfort, cultivating lifestyles and appeal of any site ambiance gathering.
Tensoshade™ promotes training among its members and alliances because only in this manner is it possible to grow and extend our knowledge of our industry, innovate, and respond to the demands of the market.
