Manufacturing

FieldTurf Tarkett has steered a high-growth industry in the proper direction. With first-class manufacturing facilities, a carefully engineered synthetic lawn product and the blessing of thousands of clients worldwide, FieldTurf Tarkett has brought “single source responsibility” and quality to the forefront with its manufacturing plant and lab. This has paved the road towards true innovation and customer service.

The plant is an impressive site by anyone’s standards. Located in Dalton, GA, it is a 110,000 square foot facility with 35 employees totalling well over 300 years of experience in the syntheic lawn turf industry. The plant features 8 tufting machines with a capacity to produce 600,000 square feet of turf each day. That is an annual production of 219,000,000 square feet of quality assured turf - enough to supply just under 3000 fields and Greenscapes applications per year (assuming an average of 75,000 square feet per field).

To ensure FieldTurf Tarkett’s standards are unmatched, a rigorous quality control process (based on extensive testing and inspections) is undertaken with every field that is put into production.

THE FIELDTURF SYSTEM 

The fibers are tufted into the backing at a patented row width of 3/4”

The patented finger unit coats just the fiber rows for superior strength, leaving the rest of the backing fully porous for unmatched drainage

The finished carpet sections are laid on the field and sewn together. The turf is now ready for infilling.
