Artificial grass manufacturer

History of Domo^® Sports Grass, manufacturer of artificial grass.
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.

2000: manufacturing of 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.
