Fourth FIFA Certified Xtreme Turf field in Taiwan demonstrates the value of international and local partners in delivering a successful field.
Austin, TX- Act Global and it’s local partner Full Ju Enterprise recently collaborated to develop a new high-performance football turf system, combining the globally renowned DX60 with earth yellow EPDM and customized drainage pad manufactured locally to deliver this FIFA Quality Pro certified field.
Xtreme Turf DX60 had already achieved multiple FIFA certificates in Taiwan in recent years and when looking to develop a new system to meet the new 2015 FIFA Test Manual standards, selecting this turf was an easy choice given its proven track record in Taiwan weather and usage conditions.
A yellow EPDM performance infill was selected to offer a natural look to the field and enhance the vibrant colors of the DX fiber and offer the university the vibrant colors they wanted in their showcase field. The introduction of a locally manufactured drainage pad protects the field from flooding, an important factor considering the damaging effect of an inadequate drainage system on-field performance. carefully selecting the best available local materials reduced costs of freight and import duties, meaning budget was available for the turf selection to focus on choosing the very best turf in the global market.
The Xtreme Turf DX60 was manufactured in our Calhoun USA facility and by combining the turf with the best available local materials the result is a field that meets the highest international standards whilst maintaining a local flavor.
Daniel Clapham, Regional Manager says, “this collaboration has been a good example of the benefits of close collaboration between global and local expertise and resources to deliver an affordable elite performance field, I would like to thank Full Ju Enterprise for their involvement in providing the best local materials and workmanship to deliver our fourth FIFA Certified field in Taiwan”
