GrassMaster Unveils New Gen-S Machines With Leading Technology & Capabilities

GrassMaster solutions, the worlds most proven provider of hybrid grass systems, is pleased to introduce the latest addition to our machine fleet, the GrassMaster Gen-S. The addition of the new machinery will allow GrassMaster to increase capacity and upgrade the provision of services to clients.

Equipped with this technology, GrassMaster gives clients the confidence of x100’s of proven installations allied with excellent stitching quality, fibre resilience and speed of installation.

BENEFITS OF GRASSMASTER


IMPROVED PLAYER WELFARE
Fibre reinforces the sand based root-zone, ensuring a flat surface with optimal levels of traction, firmness and energy restitution to reduce player injuries.

INCREASED RETURN ON INVESTMENT
The injection of GrassMaster fibre helps to reduce damage to the grass by protecting the crown of the plant from vertical and lateral forces exerted by players to increase the hours of play available on the pitch.

MAXIMUM LIFETIME VALUE
GrassMaster is the only stitched system with a proven lifespan of 10 years, with the oldest GrassMaster pitches still performing well at 15+ offering incredible value for money over the lifetime of the pitch.

BESPOKE ENGINEERED YARN
The GrassMaster fibre is produced by fellow Tarkett Company Morton extrusions in Germany. Employing some of the world’s leading materials scientists the in house expertise and R&D capabilities are leveraged in order to continually improve our fibre characteristics across all of our product lines.
