When customers build or renovate an athletic facility, they are not thinking about isolated categories. They are thinking about timelines, budgets, performance, and the long-term success of the full venue. That is why bringing AstroTurf and Rekortan under one roof matters. We are making it easier for customers to manage turf and track developments through a more coordinated process, with a clearer line of accountability from planning through project completion.
Too often, owners are forced to manage separate conversations for turf and track, separate scopes, and separate decision chains. That creates friction where there should be alignment. By bringing these brands together, we simplify procurement, reduce handoffs, and give customers one trusted partner to help guide the overall project. When questions arise around sequencing, design, scheduling, or performance, there is greater clarity around responsibility and fewer gaps between surfaces that were always meant to work together.
This is not about convenience at the expense of quality. It is about combining the strength of two brands that helped define their industries. While, AstroTurf invented the synthetic turf industry, Rekortan’s history traces back to Tartan, the first synthetic track used in the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. Our long history in both categories has helped modernize our industries and pave the way in modern athletics. We are offering a more unified experience built on deep category expertise.
