Avery Sports Turf Sees Possible Growth in Marketsh
Minneapolis, MN, Feb. 20--Avery Sports Turf, Inc., an artificial turf manufacturer, today announced that Avery does not anticipate any adverse effects from the recent announced bankruptcy filing of SRI Sports, the maker of AstroTurf and a competing manufacturer in Rome, GA, where the company's production assets are located.
According to Mr. Borglund, President and CEO of AVST, "This event may increase demand for the company's products and boost margins, as sports venues scramble to find a replacement supplier such as Avery for their near-term installations."
Borglund confirmed that AVST's patented PolylonTurf product line and the availability of product warranties backed by an AAA-rated insurer have clearly positioned Avery to take full advantage of this sudden shift in the market. "The PolylonTurf line, which combines polyethylene and nylon yarn fibers and provides improved top-fill retainment (thereby reducing the amount of infill that escapes into the air above the turf surface) has advantages that no other product on the market can offer," said Borglund. "Combined with a sustainable warranty, we expect this new product line to propel AVST into an industry leadership position."
