Why TenCate?

The Center for Turf Innovation is a 16,000-square-foot facility dedicated to surface research and development. Engineers, material scientists and sports performance specialists work together in one environment. Development is built around player-based biomechanical testing — athletes are part of the process from the start, not called in after the design is set. Performance is informed by the people who play on it.

Responsible field design starts before installation and extends well beyond the final whistle. Turf systems like Pivot are designed from the outset with end-of-life in mind. Fiber-filled systems reduce material complexity and TenCate builds active, structured pathways for end-of-life field processing.

Planning for what happens at end of life is part of how a field is designed on day one. 

TenCate is present where communities gather, play, compete and connect. Across every region of the United States, the field design and installation teams that are part of TenCate bring local expertise and established relationships to every project. That local presence is backed by the resources, manufacturing and standards of a global organization — delivering turf systems developed with athletes at the center, designed for long-term performance and built with environmental responsibility in mind from day one.

TenCate harnesses more than 300 years of experience. In the United States, the organization spans manufacturing, design, installation and maintenance— with local teams present in every region. That scale supports consistency. The same standard applied to a Division I stadium, a municipal recreation field, a school playground or a community park. The same warranty. The same accountability.
