This is a very significant financial milestone as this kind of security has never been equaled in this industry In addition to the rock solid warranty policy, Tarkett Sports continues to earmark $500,000 in an ‘In Trust’ bank account to serve as a preliminary layer of protection which is exclusively for small warranty repairs – to cover any possible repair work needed on projects installed.

“This is a very significant financial milestone as this kind of security has never been equaled in this industry,” said Tarkett Sports CEO Joe Fields. “With the failures of artificial turf companies in the past, it should be comforting to clients that Tarkett Sports is financially protected from catastrophic product failures and that our clients themselves are protected in the unlikely event Tarkett Sports ceases to be around to warrant its products. Over thirty companies in the artificial turf industry have gone bankrupt in recent years, leaving their customers with no protection and worthless warranties. We go forward never looking back because we continue to set the bar and have invested in our security and that of our clients. We have secured this by paying out over $9 million in insurance premiums in the past 7 years alone.”
