Our Heritage: From Local Roots to Global Leadership
Our Heritage: From Local Roots to Global Leadership
Our story in Australia began in the late 1970s with Grassman, one of the original pioneers of synthetic turf in this country. With decades of local manufacturing experience, Grassman became part of the FieldTurf family in 2018 – cementing a commitment to quality, innovation, and Australian-made excellence that stretches back over 40 years.
Today, FieldTurf Australia manufactures all turf at our state-of-the-art facility in Prestons, New South Wales. As part of the global Tarkett Sports Group, we combine that deep local manufacturing heritage with world-class R&D – engineering every product specifically for Australia’s demanding climate while meeting international performance standards.
Our products are featured in some of the country’s most prestigious stadiums, schools, universities, homes, and resorts – for sports, residential, and commercial applications alike.

Water stewardship
Water is essential to life and a core pillar of our sustainability strategy. From manufacturing to installation, our products are designed to address water efficiency, scarcity, and quality – reducing reliance on irrigation and enabling rapid drainage through specialised perforation technology built into every surface.
People-first surfaces
We prioritise healthy, supportive environments for athletes and teams. Every FieldTurf surface is non-toxic, lead-free, and heavy-metal-free. Surfaces are tested for safety as rigorously as they are for performance, and we maintain transparent, open communication with all project stakeholders from first brief to final handover.
Trusted worldwide - certified performance
FieldTurf is the most trusted name in artificial turf globally, with over 25,000 installations across the world. That trust is not self-declared – it is independently verified by the most respected sporting bodies in international sport.

All systems are tested using the latest equipment at the FieldTurf Innovation and Performance Center (FIPC), located at the company’s global headquarters. The FIPC ensures every FieldTurf system sets superior performance standards in its respective class – safe, durable, high-performing, and delivering genuine value over its lifecycle.
