TenCate Grass expands worldwide texturizing production capacity
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
TenCate Grass has significantly expanded its texturizing capacity in the United
States and in Europe. The start-up of the state-of-the-art equipment will enable
TenCate Grass to meet the high demand for texturized yarns for sports and
landscaping turf.
The texturizing process creates natural curled fibers, which are mainly used in
sport pitches with an extremely flat and smooth surface (field hockey, golf
etc.) and as 'root zone' for some landscaping products. For landscaping
applications it creates a natural appearance.
Guido Vliegen, global group director TenCate Grass comments: 'Since the
installation of our first texturizing equipment just over two years ago, TenCate
Grass has set the standard with its high quality, creating a fast growing demand
for its texturized grass yarns. As a result, demand for these products has
greatly outpaced capacity during 2010. With the new expansion, TenCate Grass
again will be able to meet demand, and service the European and American markets
adequately'.
Sales growth of specialty fibers
Apart from texturized fibers TenCate Grass experienced growth in all other
specialty products, like TenCate XP Blade(TM). TenCate Grass has already
increased its capacity for such products early this year. In 2010, the organic
sales growth of the TenCate Grass group was more than 10%.
Value chain management
TenCate synthetic turf components are supplied worldwide to many prominent
suppliers and producers of synthetic turf systems. Cooperation within the value
chain leads to greater quality control by all the parties involved in the
development process, resulting in integral quality assurance. This is fully in
line with the system approach advocated by TenCate. TenCate Grass thus gives a
general impetus to further improvements in the playing characteristics and
durability of synthetic turf systems.
