Signature Systems product engineer develops new composite panel system

Marcos Gonzalez, a product engineer at Texas-based global composite matting manufacturer Signature Systems, invented the OmniDeck, an innovative composite panel system that protects stadium turf.

The product is now in use at University of North Texas’ (UNT) new Lovelace and McNatt Families Practice Facility on the UNT campus in Denton, Texas, but also in iconic Major League Baseball, NFL and multiuse stadiums across the U.S. as well as Hungary’s new national stadium, Puskás Arena, in Budapest.

“Though it’s especially challenging for college students right now with classes going online and fall schedules unclear for many, I encourage you to keep working toward your goals. It’s never easy, but it’s worth the hard work,” Gonzalez says.

His four years at Signature Systems have given him the chance to develop, refine and add his name to the patent of innovative new products like OmniDeck that he’s proud to see benefit facilities at his alma mater and around the world.

“I learn something new every day at Signature, and I’m grateful to UNT for a solid foundation that I can continue to grow on,” Gonzalez says.
