Business model
Expertise across the lifecycle
TenCate brings together expertise across the lifecycle of sport, recreation and outdoor living surfaces. From research and product development to materials, manufacturing, project delivery, maintenance and end of life, knowledge from different stages helps inform decisions across the business. The exact combination differs by solution and market. Artificial turf, hybrid grass, running tracks and sports lighting each have their own technologies, supply chains and requirements. What connects them is the ability to combine specialist knowledge and real world experience around the needs of each project. This creates a continuous exchange of knowledge. What is learned during manufacturing, installation, use and maintenance can inform future product and system development.
