Introducing Ronstan Tensile Architecture

Wichard Groupe member since 2023 

An industry leader in catenary lighting systems, structural cables and rods, and balustrade systems, Ronstan Tensile Architecture possesses an unrivaled technical understanding of individual tensile components. This expertise is the direct result of decades of experience in manufacturing tensile rods and cables and contracting for a variety of tensile structures.

Today, Ronstan Tensile Architecture provides the A/E (Architectural & Engineering) community with end-to-end specialty contracting services for small to midsize tensile structures. These services include concept development, design assistance, cable and fitting selection, structural analysis and installation. Working with a building project’s team throughout the design and building process, Ronstan delivers the highest quality result.

Ronstan was incorporated in 1953 in a small factory in Melbourne, Australia, manufacturing rigging hardware for the marine industry. The new category of tensile architecture adopted Ronstan structural rods, cables, fasteners, terminals and fittings to hold materials like fabric membrane, glass, metal, and wood in place under tension.

Since then, Ronstan has worked closely with the A/E community, expanding the influence of tensile architecture and accumulating a wealth of knowledge in the design, engineering and execution of the tensile structures in which their hardware rigging plays such a critical role.

Ronstan remains committed to its end-to-end design, contracting and manufacturing services for tensile structures, delivering the utmost in quality, safety and efficiency. The clever application of creative thinking paired with practical and workable design-build solutions continues to set Ronstan Tensile Architecture apart.
