In today’s volatile economy, growing a business and generating new customers can be a challenge. For companies that belong to the Synthetic Turf Council (STC), however, the STC provides the credibility and tools its member companies need to differentiate and grow their businesses, expand their personal and professional network, and stay on the leading edge of industry innovation and best practices. The STC brings the industry together by serving as its voice and standard bearer with its guidelines for product quality, best practices and ethical conduct.

For many buyers and end-users that are interested in learning more about synthetic turf, the STC serves as a trusted source for answers to frequently asked questions about the selection, installation and maintenance of synthetic turf, and its many uses.

“Our goal is to make sure that all of our services, information, and guidance have real value to members and the marketplace,” says STC President Rick Doyle. “The STC promotes the benefits of synthetic turf systems, and the advantages of doing business with the 200 companies that are STC members.”

“Our STC membership has allowed Pioneer Athletics to develop an entirely new segment,” notes Chris Fiore of Pioneer Athletics. “Once you join, it is so easy to contact other members to seek knowledge; it’s one of the biggest assets. The association’s growth has helped our company develop and learn new technologies.”

The STC is dedicated to helping its members meet marketplace demands competitively and profitably by providing:

forums for growing your business
networking with targeted audience segments and leaders in the industry
the voice of the synthetic turf industry on a daily basis and in times of crisis

Since its inception in 2003, the STC accomplishments have been vast and include defeating the lead crisis, dispelling misconceptions about the human health and environmental safety of synthetic turf, and creating positive brand awareness, so that now schools, communities and homeowners are embracing synthetic turf as never before.
