ABOUT DOMO®

DOMO® ARTIFICIAL GRASS FOR SPORTS. A POWERFUL EXPERIENCE.

DOMO® SPORTS GRASS is a pioneer in the sports surfacing industry. Our passion for performance and our admiration for sports heroes inspire us in developing the ultimate perfection in sports surfaces. They make us put all our energy, know-how and experience into that particular moment that really counts: when power and emotions come together.

Domo® Sports Grass is globally responsible for more than 50 million m² of installed artificial grass for soccer, hockey, tennis, American football, rugby, golf, skiing and multifunctional sporting applications.

Over 25 years of experience and close collaboration with local authorities, councils, schools and sports federations make Domo® Sports Grass an expert in the development and installation of hard-wearing, easy-to-maintain artificial grass pitches. Domo® Sports Grass helps you make the best choice: we offer advice in relation to the artificial grass, the base and infill systems, drainage and maintenance. Our partners take care of installation and after-care, so your surface is always in perfect condition.

DOMO® Sports Grass guarantees the quality of every sports field. Its well thought-out TQM system enables the whole creation, production and delivery process to be intensively monitored.

The quest for innovative and improved products starts in the R&D department in close co-operation with sportsmen and sportswomen, clients, external laboratories, universities and suppliers. Each raw material that enters the production unit is carefully submitted to a strict arrival inspection. The characteristics of the delivered products are compared to a specification that is set in co-operation with R&D. Once the components have been approved, the tufting cell comes into play. This is where the person in charge, after he or she has adjusted the machine, carries out a check on the semi-finished product. The quality lab also performs an extra post-check. The machine is also stopped at regular intervals during production, during which the operator completes further intermediary quality checks. The semi-finished product is then sent on to the finishing line, where the tufted grass fibres are stuck on with a coating of latex. Optimal anchoring of the tufts is guaranteed thanks to permanent monitoring of the quantity of coating applied and constant supervision of the temperature. A contact-free measurement system and the latest in rolling systems ensure that the rolls reach the store in mint condition. A sample is taken from each batch and sent to the internal professional quality lab, where the finished product undergoes final testing in line with the most stringent international testing criteria.

The complete creation, production and delivery process of each product from the entry of the raw materials to the final delivery of a beautiful sports field can be minutely followed up and checked in DOMO® Sports Grass’s facilities.
Europeans encountered the first generation of artificial grass at the Montreal Olympics in 1976. These artificial grass surfaces, made of nylon or polyamide fibres with a high density, were suitable for hockey and tennis, but not for sports that involved sliding, such as soccer.

In 1983 Domo® Sports Grass develops its first artificial grass for hockey: a second-generation artificial grass, with longer, less-dense fibres made of polypropylene; the sand infill increases stability. This remains a top product to this day.

The first Domo football pitch made of polyethylene yarn followed in 1988, and contrasted sharply with older artificial grasses: it was much softer and resistant against UV radiation and cold. The first pitch is laid in Siberia.

In 2000 Domo® Sports Grass introduces the third-generation of artificial grass pitches: made of polyethylene, but now infilled with sand and rubber. The stability and elasticity improve the playing properties, and sliding is no longer a problem. FIFA approves these pitches for training and competition.

2003: Domo® Sports Grass combines the benefits of monofilament and fibrillated yarns into a unique yarn combination, and patents this invention. It is used in the VarioSlide Excellence artificial grass. With this, Domo receives its first FIFA* certificate for the pitch at Club Brugge.

In 2006 Domo® Sports Grass files a second patent for a new yarn - SPR. This contains two different polymers, and is propeller-shaped. It offers more resistance to wear and is more elastic. Through the use of multicoloured yarns, the grass now also looks more natural. This quality bears the name VarioSlide Supreme.

The most recent innovation from Domo® Sports Grass dates from 2009: an unfilled grass football pitch with a new profiled yarn - Domo® Champion Ascari. This fourth-generation artificial grass has all the advantages of its predecessors and scores even higher in the wear and resilience tests. The absence of rubber infill makes installation, maintenance and recycling easier
