About Hightex
Hightex has a long history of building large span roofs and facades using architectural membranes, exemplified by the Berlin Stadium, Germany, used for the most recent FIFA World Cup Final in 2006. Hightex has been awarded two contracts in relation to the FIFA 2010 Football World Cup. Hightex is providing the membrane roof as part of the upgrading of the First National Bank (FNB) Stadium in Johannesburg, which will host finals of the FIFA 2010 Football World Cup as well as the façade for the Green Point 2010 Football World Cup Stadium in Cape Town.
