A LEGACY OF INNOVATION

With over 300 years of expertise in textiles, TenCate operates worldwide working closely with trusted local partners. From elite sports venues to community spaces. From research and yarn manufacturing to installation, maintenance and recycling. That approach secures consistent quality, limits environmental impact and speeds up the path from idea to application. Each system is built to perform, endure and provide lasting value, whether in a stadium or a neighbourhood pitch.

From humble weavers to high-tech pioneers

Wherever sport is played or communities come together, there’s a story behind the surface. A story of progress that began more than three centuries ago in the Netherlands and continues to shape how the world plays today.

The future of turf, today

True innovation means making better choices for everyone who steps onto a field, from children in the street to professional players. Each step forward is about smarter materials, circular design and surfaces built to last.

  • Engineered for performance. Designed through data and player insight. Every surface supports safe, responsive play.

  • Validated in the field. Proven where it matters most. Through real-world use and elite-level testing.

  • Designed for circularity. Built for recovery and reuse, cutting waste and lowering impact from the start.

Global expertise / Local impact

A worldwide network brings scale and knowledge, while local partners add the insight needed for each region. Together this ensures turf systems that match climate, culture

Shared values. Clear principles

From product development to partnerships, a consistent set of values shapes how TenCate works and grows. These are not slogans, but principles that guide daily decisions across all levels of the organisation.

    Push boundaries with a relentless focus on innovation, developing products that lead the industry in performance, appearance, durability, safety, and sustainability.

  • WIN TOGETHER

Turf meets science

At the Center for Turf Innovation, research is tested against reality. Product development is guided by data, player feedback and rigorous trials. From biomechanics to climate-specific testing, every insight shapes turf that performs better, lasts longer, cuts emissions and fits circular design.Read more about our innovations

Partnerships

  • JOHAN CRUYFF FOUNDATION: CREATING SPACE TO MOVE

    Hundreds of Cruyff Courts have been built across more than 20 countries, giving over a million children each year the chance to play, connect and feel part of a community. These spaces are designed for inclusion, regardless of background or ability.

    Each court is more than just a place to play. It acts as a catalyst for positive change, offering safe and accessible environments that inspire teamwork, confidence and respect. In these spaces, young people develop essential life skills that benefit them both on and off the field.

  • PSV ACADEMY: INNOVATION IN PLAY

    This partnership with PSV is a shared commitment to understand how surfaces shape performance, safety and long term player development. At De Herdgang the daily rhythm of training offers something no lab can fully capture. Every turn, acceleration and landing provides insight into how a surface behaves under real pressure. Those moments help refine ideas, correct assumptions and move research forward in a way that only a living training environment allows.

    The shared goal is simple: better surfaces that support players at every stage of their career and solutions that hold up under the demands of modern sport. De Herdgang offers the place to learn what truly works, anchored in real use and continuous feedback.
  • CIRCULARITY IN PRACTICE: RECYCLING PARTNERSHIPS

    TenCate partners with GBN, ExxonMobil and Cyclyx to turn used turf into new resources. In the Netherlands, a dedicated recycling facility was co-founded with GBN Artificial Grass Recycling. In the United States, TenCate Turf Recycling Solutions works with ExxonMobil and Cyclyx to advance both mechanical and chemical recycling methods. 

    These partnerships make end-of-life recovery technically and logistically possible. Circularity is not just a design principle. It is being built together, in practice.
