COMPANY
“Terraplas plc has been in the turf & ice protection business for twenty years and we have been hugely successful in designing and manufacturing the most widely used protection products around the World – so much so that that we proudly use the slogan ‘World’s No.1 Turf & Ice Protection Company’. So many people tell us that Terraplas is the generic term for turf protection just like “Hoover” is to vacuum cleaners and “Kleenex” to tissues - who are we to argue?
The growing demand on Venue Managers to maximize revenue necessitates regular use of Stadiums/Arenas for non-sporting events. The experience Terraplas plc has gained since inception gives them unrivalled knowledge of the requirements of the entertainment business in this environment.
There is no question that the potential income from a non-sporting event can often be double that of a sporting occasion. However, maintaining the standard of the playing surface is vital, as there is no point in gaining revenue from an event only to have to spend that revenue on repairing or replacing the playing surface. Therefore, if a stadium decides to opt for the non-sporting event route, it must very carefully consider which product to purchase for their turf protection. Many stadiums have purchased a lower cost system only to find that this was a false economy due to the level of protection afforded.
The use of Terraplas products uniquely allows for a concert to be held one day and a game the next with results proven time after time.
Terraplas plc is proud of its reputation and product longevity. The undeniable proof of this is that Wembley National Stadium purchased a new Terraplas system when they opened their new Stadium, however the original Wembley System is now over nineteen years old and is still in use, being regularly rented out by a hire company.
Similarly, ice arenas need to increase their revenue by holding non-ice events. To do this they require a cover, which ideally ensures the comfort of the public and the ability to drive forklifts/cherrypickers on top of the system for install and exit – the Terraplas ice cover system uniquely does both of these and has many more attributes.
Terraplas products are proven to outperform all others - by miles. I am extremely proud of what Terraplas plc has achieved over the last 20 years. With our continuous product development policy we now have a comprehensive range of 10 products to address the needs of all surface protection requirements and budgets.”
