GreenFields has undertaken to be the Official Supplier to PSV Eindhoven until 2018. GreenFields will, under the terms of the agreement with PSV Eindhoven, install various new synthetic turf systems at De Herdgang. De Herdgang is the sports complex of the club.
GreenFields and TenCate will use the PSV sports complex as the FieldLab for sports-related technical research and as a showcase for international customers.
De Herdgang in Eindhoven boasts numerous pitches produced by TenCate and installed by GreenFields, including the main pitch on the youth side, the synthetic turf pitch near the professionals and the innovative FieldLab. All the pitches are equipped with the latest technology related to synthetic turf systems. The Van Bommel pitch, which has already been installed and on which youth teams can enjoy very specific training through the use of innovative techniques, has also been provided with a woven GreenFields® MX synthetic turf system.
Marcel Brands, technical manager of PSV Eindhoven, states that he is delighted with the installation of the new synthetic turf pitches at De Herdgang. "The GreenFields pitches enable all the youth teams to train more intensively and to make even better use of the pitches. And what is even more interesting is the fact that we together with GreenFields are going to look at the development of hybrid pitches." A XtraGrass(TM) hybrid system is a combination of a natural grass pitch reinforced with a woven synthetic turf backing. This system is fully recyclable and in part biodegradable.
Guests and business club members witnessed the signing of the agreement between PSV Eindhoven and GreenFields by Toon Gerbrands, general manager of PSV Eindhoven, and Ton Raaphorst, director of TenCate and GreenFields. Raaphorst is very enthusiastic: "PSV made the sealing of our collaboration an unexpectedly great moment. It was well deserved, as both parties are driven by innovation: on the one hand, sporting innovation and on the other, technological innovation.” (Stadiaworld, 22.03.2016)
