Just one day until the largest international fair for air and space kicks off in Santiago, Chile.
The International Air and Space Fair (FIDAE) is an aerospace, defense, and security exhibition with the mission to improve aviation safety and technology in all sectors. For four decades FIDAE has celebrated innovation within the industry and encouraged investment into research and development to continue its rapid progression. This year’s exhibition will be FIDAE’s 20th annual event and will bring together hundreds of companies headquartered in dozens of countries around the world into 8 exhibition halls. The event runs from April 3rd to April 8th with the last 2 days featuring multiple air shows by top pilots.
Act Global is excited to be in attendance at the event to showcase our AvTurf and Xtreme Turf systems. AvTurf is a synthetic turf surface that provides comprehensive ground safety enhancements and erosion control to make airplane takeoffs and landings more effective and efficient. Modern airports around the world face similar hazards that impact their runways and taxiways including foreign object debris (FOD), bird strikes, erosion, drainage, wildlife management and visual recognition concerns. Natural grass ground covers can exacerbate these issues due to unavoidable climatic characteristics and animal inhabitants of the area. AvTurf is a durable, attractive, and a cost-effective solution for 21st-century airports.
Xtreme Turf is a world-class sports turf brand from Act Global that has earned an array of FIFA-quality certifications and has been installed in over 80 countries across the world.

Turf system carefully engineered for increased infill encapsulation, reduced temperature, more natural, greener looking field plus added durability.
The Al Islah community in Kuwait celebrated the opening of three community football fields. These elite level playing surfaces manufactured by Act Global in the Netherlands will expand the neighborhood’s opportunity to participate in both recreational and competitive play.
To maximize the durability and longevity of the fields, the client selected a same-stitch monofilament and SPC blended synthetic turf designed by Act Global and installed by Parla Sports in Kuwait. Offering excellent infill encapsulation, this Xtreme Turf system reduces the performance infill’s (SBR) exposure to direct sunlight thus creating a cooler playing surface for players and preserving a greener and more aesthetically pleasing surface. Designed for high-intensity use, the increased playing hours and longevity of the surfaces will increase revenue opportunities for the field owners, the high-performance characteristics of the field offer the players a top quality grass experience.
“We are delighted that the client made the choice to upgrade to this heavyweight turf system,” comments regional manager Daniel Clapham. “The combination of extra durability, superior infill encapsulation, reduced temperature, and a greener playing surface is perfectly suited to such heavy traffic, heavy use fields. There is also a need for such fields to be aesthetically appealing and enhance the local community. Parla Sport deserves a special mention for this project.”
The ability to use such pitches more intensively for more hours and for more years of play than most other fields in the region yields a healthy return both financially and in terms of enhancing the local community. The extra durability of Act Global’s SXF, DXF, BDX and DF blended systems offer considerable savings for clients when viewed over the entire warranty period and beyond.
In partnership with Act Global, Parla Sport offers comprehensive after sales and maintenance services to add an extra layer of comfort to valued Kuwaiti clientele.

The football turf field and adjacent wet system hockey field are the first of their kind in Arunachal Pradesh.
Act Global and partner Décor India have brought two revolutionary synthetic turf fields to the Sanjay Lhaden Sports Academy complex in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh. Both the football field and hockey field systems offer elite-level playing surfaces that are engineered to the highest international performance and quality standards.
The remote location posed many complex challenges throughout construction from logistics to machinery. With strong local support from partner Décor India alongside Act Global’s wealth of experience gained whilst delivering multiple FIFA Goal projects in similarly remote and demanding regions, the team was able to complete a truly top class multi-field installation.
“This project has been an exciting challenge,” comments regional manager Daniel Clapham. “We couldn’t be more thankful for our partners that make projects like this possible and can’t wait to see the success that these innovative pitches bring to the community”.
