SYNLawn receives recognition at annual Synthetic Turf Council Awards
SYNLawn, a global manufacturer of sustainable synthetic turf, and two regional distributors were selected as winners of three 2024 Synthetic Turf Council (STC) Awards.
The three awards include:
Innovation for SYNLawn‘s multidirectional turf technology
According to the company, its patented multidirectional technology, combined with a unique blend of yarns and colors, offers a more realistic alternative to traditional synthetic turf. SYNLawn uses a manufacturing process that introduces irregularities in all directions and mimics the random growth patterns of natural turf. The crimped and straight yarns are mixed with varying shades of green and brown.
One notable installation featuring this innovation was the Euro 2024 Fan Mile in Berlin. Over 2 million people visited this largest soccer fan zone between June and July 14. After the tournament, the 24,000 square meters of artificial turf used in the installation were given a second life through donations to seven organizations and facilities in Berlin.
Philanthropy for Have Faith Haiti
SYNLawn Michigan collaborated with Mitch Albom, author and founder of the Have Faith Haiti school and orphanage in Port-au-Prince, to build safe and vibrant outdoor spaces for children. To enhance the social and recreational environment for kids, SYNLawn Michigan installed artificial grass across 11,000 square feet to build a courtyard area and 8,600 square feet to create a soccer field.
According to the company, this philanthropic project promotes physical activity and social interaction and contributes to the holistic development of the orphanage’s residents.
Commercial Landscape Project of the Year for Factory 52
SYNLawn Cincinnati was chosen to reinvent the outdoor spaces at Factory 52, a 20-acre mixed-use development built on the former site of the United States Playing Card Company.
The SYNLawn Cincinnati team created imaginative green spaces for the community, including a state-of-the-art dog park, a pickleball complex, Central Green Park and Card Park. The team installed 12,700 square feet of SYNTipede X43, made with SYNLawn’s Super Yarn technology, to build the Bark Park and 17,421 square feet of SYNAugustine 347 to create the other outdoor living spaces.
According to the company, both products are sustainable due to SYNLawn’s exclusive plant-based EnviroLoc+ Backing System created from renewable resources like soybean oil.
“We’re honored to receive three prestigious awards from STC for our notable achievements,” said George Neagle, president of SYNLawn Global. “Our company is proud to be honored for our latest innovation in the synthetic turf industry, as well as the impressive design and installation projects completed by our creative and highly skilled distributor teams.”
The winners were announced during an awards ceremony in Phoenix, Ariz., during the STC’s annual conference. The STC Awards is a program designed to recognize members who help to promote the association’s values and advance the synthetic turf industry.
