EDER brings more than 15 years of excellence in the provision and installation of high-class synthetic sport field in the national France territory. EDER is respected within the local industry by sport communities, sport fields specifiers, mayors, and sport directors.”
Act Global and EDER gained exclusive support at the event from top international rugby players Francois Trinh Duc and Yannick Nyanga.
“Act Global and EDER were delighted to have the exclusive support of Yannick Nyanga, Paris Racing 92 rugby club Sport Director, and François Trinh Duc currently top player at Paris Racing 92 rugby club (Top 14),” Loubersac said. “Both Yannick and François have been playing at the top level for the French National Rugby team, and we look forward to having them participating to further new product launch, sport, and social events with the Act Global EDER team!”

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.

About Act Global
Act Global is a global leader in high-performance synthetic turf, with a manufacturing facility in Dalton, Georgia, and delivering field installations in more than 90 countries. Act Global’s football turf systems have been selected for premier venues, including the New Orleans Superdome (2013, 2017, and 2018), MetLife Stadium (2014), and U.S. Bank Stadium (2016 and 2019), reflecting the company’s commitment to safety, performance, and innovation.
Picture this: it’s the year 2050. The world population has grown to 9.8 billion people and close to 70% live in urban areas. Clean air travel has become the go to option for traveling and society is experiencing technology unlike before. Education has increased leaps and bounds, and world countries experience less poverty on a universal scale.
It sounds beautiful, right? Innovation is the key to the future. The world never stops, and we continue to adapt every day. Presently, as well as within the next 30 years, countries across the globe are experiencing a steady rise in urbanization and an increase in airport travel. Humanity truly wasn’t made to sit still!
However, this means waste production will continue to overflow landfills at an exponential rate. In addition to maximizing available land space for business, leisure, sports and communities, it is a necessity for the environment to be protected along with its resources. We must continue to be creative in the conservation of clean drinking water and how we care for the Earth. As part of our “Innovate More” pillar, Act Global develops solutions for these important issues through synthetic turf. As a result, we know we can help further mankind and our planet’s habitability.
We do this by offering a huge product range that covers sports (Xtreme Turf, Xtreme Grass), landscape (Turfscape), aviation (AvTurf), and landfills (LiteEarth). Each product is manufactured with specific components in mind, such as the safety of the environment, athlete safety, airport operation safety, and of course, the need for better surface solutions. As technology grows and society acclimates, so do we. We adapt because it is vital for every project and product we assemble to be of the utmost quality.
Our values drive our business. It is through creativity and innovation that further the vision we see for a better world. Innovating more is more than just a commitment, it is a lifestyle Act Global embraces and encourages.

Every sport that has ever been played was first created on a natural grass field. Today, many of these sports have gone on to be played professionally and casually on synthetic turf fields due to the environmental benefits and heightened performance and safety for the players.
To keep the integrity of the game, Act Global uses a synthetic turf system for every field produced and continues to find a perfect balance between measuring performance and safety. Depending on the sport, different performance factors are considered. By using synthetic turf, you are able to control the performance in a consistent manner through fiber type, fiber height, and infill. Refer to https://bit.ly/2UaRSh5 to find out more about infill.
The Synthetic Turf Council describes ball-surface interaction as this: “Ball-surface interaction describes the performance characteristics of the field that relate to the ways in which the ball reacts to the surface. It is important that the ball perform as close as possible to the optimal performance characteristics for the sport or sports being played on the field. Therefore, measurements of vertical ball rebound, angled ball rebound, and ball roll, are taken to compare against the published standards of the regulatory organization(s) applicable to each sport.”
Act Global continues to take in input for every potential field project along with recommendations for turf systems that will best benefit all athletes.
