SISGrass and HG Turf Group sign exclusive partnership in Australia

SISGrass stitching machine to arrive in Australia October 2020

The new partnership offers the Australian sports turf industry a revolutionary new hybrid grass system – stitched hybrid grass by SIS Grass Hybrid. The SIS Grass machine is versatile and provides the fastest installation on the market. Injecting artificial grass fibres into the playing surface, the surface is instantly stabilised, and the natural grass is protected.

SIS Grass Hybrid is stitched in a 20mm x 20mm square pattern, with 20mm of fibre above the surface and 180mm of fibre below the surface. The hybrid surface, which comprises 5% artificial grass and 95% natural grass, increases the playing hours by up to 3 times.

SIS Grass Hybrid is designed for long-term performance, with a life expectancy of 10 years+. The polyethylene fibres are UV stable and wear resistant. The fibres can also be recycled, which makes SIS Grass a sustainable choice.

The SIS Grass Hybrid machine is powered by electricity and guided by laser for greater accuracy during installation. One machine can stitch a full-size football pitch in 7 days. A smaller version of the stitching machine is also available for goal boxes, golf tees, tennis courts and cricket pitches.

SIS Grass Hybrid was launched in 2015 and has been installed in over 100 pitches including 50 stadium pitches worldwide. SIS Grass Hybrid has been used with cool-season grass in the Premier League, FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League and Rugby World Cup. SIS Grass Hybrid has also been used with warm-season grass in the AFC Asian Cup. SIS Grass Hybrid is also widely used in community sport.

HG Turf Group has been supplying the market with hybrid grass for more than 20 years. The introduction of SIS Grass Hybrid expands HG Turf Group’s offer of grass systems.

We’re delighted to partner with HG Turf Group. Our SIS Grass Hybrid technology has been installed all over the world and working with this experienced partner presents an exciting opportunity to provide quality hybrid surfaces to a new market in Australia
