So, What is an ISO 9001 Certification?

So, What is an ISO 9001 Certification?

Regardless of the industry, most consumers only want the best product for their dollar. It can be hard to distinguish between which brands provide quality and those who don’t. To combat this, Act Global gets an annual certification of ISO 9001 to help make this easier for buyers.

So, what exactly is an ISO 9001 certification and how does it help consumers in the buying process?

According to the ASQ website, ISO 9001 is firstly defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). The standard demonstrates the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the only standard in the series to which organizations can become certified in.

For organizations, achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification means the organization follows the guidelines of the ISO 9001 standard, fulfills its own requirements, meets customer requirements and statutory and regulatory requirements, and maintains documentation.

Act Global has manufacturing plants in three different countries and has delivered fields to over 90 countries across the world. For every product division, we stand by our quality and follow strict international standards and performance metrics set by governing agencies of sports, landscape, aviation, and land capping. An ISO 9001 certification allows buyers to trust our product lines and know that every product we put out is made with only the highest quality.

Field Feature Friday: Estadio Municipal El Porvenir

Things are looking to the future in Peru! Act Global Partner Ferrol Sport installed an Act Global Xtreme Turf field for Estadio Municipal El Porvenir. The brand new FIFA qualified facility will be used for training for the Federation of Soccer of Peru!

The purpose of the Peruvian Federation of Football is to transform soccer in Peru and turn it into an engine of social and sports change. Their goal is to return the love and passion of the sport to the 30 million Peruvians who live in the country.

As part of their plan to professionalize management and include the involvement and support of clubs and interest groups across the country, the FPF made the decision to bring on the Act Global team to tailor their sports needs. The turf used was the Xtreme Turf D60-360, a product engineered for player safety and performance and designed specifically for soccer.

Act Global and Ferrol Sport are proud of the work done for the Federation of Soccer of Peru! We are excited that soccer players around the area will get to use the facility to better their skills and build comradery while minimizing injury.

Play More: A Pillar, Not A Slogan

Play More: A Pillar, Not A Slogan

It’s not anything new that children love to play. There’s something about getting to run around outside or playing a sport with friends that builds character. While it may be true as children get older their energy begins to slow, it’s safe to say their passion for competing will never go away.

Act Global thrives on providing new ways for children to go outside and be active. Studies show that children who play more outdoors are physically healthier, have better motor skills due to repetitive practice, and have stronger bones and muscles. Our synthetic turf fields help kids play for more hours of the day during any kind of weather or climate at any point of the year.

Mexico Players in the Homeless World Cup tournment, in Glasgow George Square The Homeless World Cup is a unique, pioneering social movement which uses football to inspire homeless people to change their own lives. Homeless World Cup 2016 is taking place in Glasgow’s George Square from July 10th to July 16th. For more information, visit www.homelessworldcup.com

Don’t Be Fooled!

Don’t Be Fooled!

It’s our favorite day of the year at Act Global – we just love a good April Fool’s joke! All Fools’ Day simply wouldn’t be the same without the pranks and laughter filling our office from head to toe.

However, this marketing intern is here to say don’t be fooled by other turf companies’ low priced turf products! Act Global only produces turf of the highest quality. Best of all, every product we create is U.S. made. No April Fool’s joke about that!

But seriously, you don’t want buyer’s remorse and we get that. For most, that means sticking to a low price point and hoping for the product to last. But it’s also a given that the average buyer doesn’t want to make an investment in something only for it to last five years as opposed to a product lasting for 15+ years with a warranty to back it up.

Your landscape turf should only be of the best and highest quality. You can trust that every product we create is made from American turf. As part of our pillars, we innovate more by creating turf that won’t have chemicals or output pollution into the environment, and it is UV stabilized so you can 100% trust its life expectancy.

Price point shouldn’t be the make it or break it deal when making the decision to buy the right turf or not. For a variety of industries, it is safe to say that the lowest price does not equate to the best a market has to offer! Be more by choosing Act Global’s Turfscape for all of your landscape turf needs!

Happy April Fool’s day and be sure to keep up to date on all of our turf projects and more by following us on Facebook,Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

International Installation: Saint Andrews Secondary School

International Installation: Saint Andrews Secondary School

After 12 years, Act Global is proud to have partnered with ATS Pte. Ltd for the Saint Andrews Secondary School project located in Singapore for their second installation. Daniel Clapham was the sales representative and head of the project.

The school’s first field was built in 2007 with the Pro N64 system. After experiencing its high quality for over 12 years, the decision to reselect Act Global and ATS for a second installation was clear for the Saint Andrews Secondary School.

The turf chosen for the field was the WR compliant 3G system Xtreme Turf D60-360 C7010XC, utilizing a long pile diamond monofilament with a shock pad, a combination that is perfect for the school’s sporting needs. This carefully engineered system works well with Singapore’s year-round hot and humid weather due to the turf’s strong resistance to climate tea and the customized Plana pipe drainage system designed and installed by ATS Singapore   The turf is developed with the use of maximum UV inhibitors so that it can with-stand heavy use and intense climatic conditions over long periods of time. This allows the fibers to last longer and perform better. The field is Act Global’s first WR certified field in Asia-Pacific.
