At most athletic venues, turf and track have never truly been separate. They share the same site, the same project schedule, the same grading and drainage considerations, and often the same operational goals. Coaches, athletes, and administrators already experience them as part of one facility. What this merger does is bring the supplier relationship in line with that reality.
We already build our products as complete systems. On the turf side, that means sport-specific lines like RootZone® GT-B, the first synthetic turf system to earn USDA Certified Biobased Product designation, and AstroTurf 12, a field hockey system built around knitted nylon construction and water-based play. On the track side, Rekortan offers multiple system types built for various levels of use and competition, from community-focused builds to elite competition surfaces. Bringing both categories together gives customers a more connected way to think about the facility as a whole.
This matters during design and construction, but it also matters long after installation. Turf and track are both long-term assets. Rekortan’s track systems are typically expected to last 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance, while AstroTurf fields often fall into a similar long-range planning cycle depending on usage and sport. That means customers benefit from thinking about replacement timing, maintenance planning, and capital investment in a more unified way.
Turf and track were already working together on the ground. Now, they are better aligned in planning, support, and long-term stewardship. That is what it means to be built to work together.
