S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 For seven years, ProGrass, a company that specializes in synthetic turf, has used a raw material from the United Arab Emirates<\/strong> in its products. The well-established Brazilian company<\/a> has delivered synthetic turfs to Porto Alegre\u2019s Sport Club Internacional and S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Palmeiras Football Academy and is now going to work on the Gramadense Sports Center, a football club in Rio Grande do Sul.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian company is expected to have applied the 9,800 square meters of synthetic turf across the Sports Center by March next year.<\/p>\n

Pegoraro: Company delivers synthetic turf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cProGrass was established in 2013 following the invitation of Sportlink president Adriano Gelli to be the exclusive representative of the sports synthetic turf in S\u00e3o Paulo. Some years later, we started representing the Sportlink brand across the Brazilian territory. Now we\u2019ve been in the market for ten years,\u201d explains Aleks Pegoraro, sales director of ProGrass for the South and Southeast regions of the country. Pictured on the opening photo, Pegoraro on the turf of the International.<\/em><\/p>\n

The synthetic turf<\/strong> creation and application process engages three companies. The raw material – the turf yars from the UAE – goes through a manufacturing process in the Arab-based <\/strong>industrial plant of Mattex. Sportlink imports these yarns and manufactures the finished turf that\u2019s then applied at stadiums by ProGrass.<\/p>\n

In addition to the yarns, net and latex are also used as raw materials by Sportlink. These items provide the turf with more resistance, longevity, softness, comfort, and good appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore buying the yarns from the UAE in 2016, Mattex used to buy them from Europe. Comparing the raw materials from the two regions, we believe that they have the same quality standards. Besides us here in Brazil, Mattex caters to companies from Europe, the United States, and Canada<\/strong>,\u201d says the sales director of ProGrass.<\/p>\n

Before applying the turn, ProGrass carries out a soil study, prepares the underlayment and implements drainage systems. When the synthetic turn is ready, ProGrass takes care of the revitalization and rotation of turf carpets, builds wire fences, sports nets, a venue lightning.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompared to normal grass, the synthetic turf stands out for a number of reasons, including the price of maintenance. As the natural turf requires a lot of sun and water and has to be mowed daily, it demands a high maintenance cost. The synthetic turf, on the other hand, requires a maintenance every three months. Some customers don\u2019t feel the need for a maintenance for a period as larger as six months,\u201d says Pegoraro.<\/p>\n

The synthetic turf also provides a level of comfort that\u2019s similar to the one the athlete feels when playing on natural turf. When we talk durability, the synthetic product tends to last 100 times longer than natural turf.<\/p>\n
