The science behind the surface
Innovation starts with insight. At our Center for Turf Innovation, we study every detail, from joint impact to movement science, to create smarter surfaces from the ground up.
Designed to outperform
From lab to field, our designs push boundaries. Infill-free. Circular. Built to mimic natural grass and last longer, with less impact on the planet.
Proven where it matters
We don’t guess, we test, refine and validate. Every system is validated through real play, elite feedback, and third-party testing, for performance you can trust.

Innovating the future of turf
Engineered for Performance
Tomorrow’s turf isn’t just built to last, it’s built to elevate. By integrating biomechanics, data, and real-world testing, turf becomes a surface that responds to athletes, adapts to environments, and performs consistently at every level of play.
Designed for Circularity
True innovation starts with rethinking the system. Tomorrow’s turf is designed to minimize waste, simplify recycling, and reduce transport and maintenance footprints. Single-material systems and infill-free solutions redefine what responsible turf can be.
Built to Earn Trust:
Turf isn’t just a surface, it’s a promise. Coaches, municipalities, clubs, and players rely on it every day. Tomorrow’s turf delivers that confidence: consistent in performance, easy to maintain, and ready for the long run.
Changing perceptions
The turf industry is evolving and we’re leading that shift by combining our decades of expertise with a clear, forward-looking vision. Grounded in research and real-world insights, our innovations raise the expectations for performance, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
- Expertise: Rooted in over three centuries of textile innovation and a founding force in synthetic turf, TenCate brings unmatched depth of knowledge to every fiber, field, and future-facing solution.
- R&D: At the forefront of innovation, research is not a phase, it’s a mindset. Each new generation of turf is shaped by data, biomechanics, and relentless testing in real-world conditions.
- Reliability: Proven over time and tested to perform. TenCate systems deliver consistent quality, season after season, built for durability, trusted for the long run.
- Impact: Responsibility is designed in, not added on. Every stage, from raw materials to end-of-life is examined to lower impact, extend value, and set new standards for the industry.
