Ronstan Architectural is an internationally recognized manufacturer of cable and rod tendons for tensile architecture known for their quality product and ability to engineer rigging solutions for the most complex and demanding of advanced architectural designs.
From humble beginnings in a small factory in Melbourne Australia in the early 1950's, Ronstan has grown to become one of the world's leading suppliers of cable and rod tendons for architecture and construction. In the process it has accumulated a wealth of knowledge not only in the manufacture of cables, rods and bars, but also in the design, engineering and execution of the structures in which their traditional products play such a critical role.
Ronstan Architectural Solutions. Unlike other companies who are merely cable or rod suppliers, Ronstan are one of the few companies world-wide with the capability to provide “total solutions”. In house design engineers enable solutions to be tailored to your needs before the Ronstan project management team ensures the proper co-ordination of tensile requirements from concept to installation. The in house team is complimented by a select group of consultants at the leading edge of lightweight tensile architecture. Ronstan can tailor a scope to provide:
- Design support & concept development.
- Cable and fitting selection
- Assistance with corrosion protection
- Cost estimates and budgets
- Method statements and schedules
- Structural Analysis
- Site supervision
- Installation
The Ronstan Architectural product range offers a comprehensive portfolio of tensile elements designed specifically for architecture and construction. Their philosophy is clear – to provide products that are simple, easy to work with, look great and perform to design expectations. The Ronstan product range includes:
- Stainless Steel Cables - 1mm to 36mm diameter (110 kg to 96,875kg MBL).

The Ronstan Architectural quality system includes full accreditation to ISO9001 and Ronstan is committed to the design, manufacture and installation of high quality cable and rod tendons and structures world-wide.
"Glazed facades, tensioned fabric roofs, suspension bridges and cable nets all depend on tensile cables and rods as the primary load carrying structure. The results are structures of unique depth and openness, with large spans made possible by balancing the need for reduced self weight, with the application of minimalist and efficient high tensile cable tendons. This is lightweight architecture and a Ronstan passion".
