Our Innovation Systems

RECENT INNOVATION HIGHLIGHTS

BioGrass

Leading the industry in biodegradable polymers, we've developed a synthetic hybrid grass yarn that breaks down over time without compromising on strength or stability. Committed to changing the game, we've worked with some of Europe's top clubs to test it in the ground on first team pitches.

Waterless hockey

Professional hockey surfaces need to move away from water based pitches. We’ve developed a unique solution using an exclusive self-lubricating yarn that doesn’t inhibit the pace of play, nor the ability to perform quick movements and 3D skills.

Hybrid Grass Machines

Internal mechanical and software engineers ensure that our patented machines are the best on the market. We're continuously innovating and evolving our SIS Grass Hybrid fleet to allow customers to benefit from quicker and more efficient installation. With flexibility in both depth and spacing, we offer hybrid solutions options to suit any kind of usage, budget or sport.

Cricket solutions

A purpose built machine for cricket has seen us become the go-to provider of hybrid wickets around the world. Our cricket machine is the only hybrid system patented specifically for cricket, tested by STRI and University of Tennessee it is also the only independently tested system by the ECB.

Dare to be different

We look closely at every single aspect of a sports surface system.

Fibres, backings, coatings, shockpads, infills, construction processes, pitch technology and developing our own machinery in-house.

Since the foundation of our company, we’ve never stood still. We’ve pursued more and more ways to power more play in new countries, different sports and all stages of the sports surface project. As the first B Corp in our industry, we embrace bold, sustainable solutions in our products, services, and ways of working.

Our Innovation partners

Specialist testing laboratories

We’re always looking for our next breakthrough. We push our products to their limits and develop our surfaces at partner sports testing labs and our very own internal laboratory. Using the latest technologies we’re continuously looking to advance our products, whether for biodegradability, better performance, safety or durability.

Academic Institutions

Partnering with elite universities allows us to push the industry forward with innovations that are meticulously tested and evidence-led. We’re proud to partner the University of Tennessee, Michigan State University, Nottingham University and Loughborough University.

WORLDWIDE SPORTS SURFACES

BIOGRASS

Every year, artificial and hybrid pitches are being used more in colleges, sports clubs and elite stadiums around the world. They play an important role in elite and amateur sports, improving the health and well-being of people, across the globe.

At the same time, there is a growing recognition of the environmental damage caused by plastics. Stadiums want sustainable materials that align with the environmental policies of sports bodies and corporate sponsors.

BioGrass is the solution to all of these issues. BioGrass is a fully circular, natural polymer that is installed via our SIS Grass Hybrid machinery.
