HISTORY OF INNOVATION

REVOLUTIONIZING THE SYNTHETIC TURF

INDUSTRY SINCE 1976

 

Revolution Turf’s CoFounder, Seymour Tomarin, raised the synthetic turf industry up from carpet manufacturing, by developing technology to improve performance and safety.

Tomarin brings over 40 years experience in all aspects of the synthetic turf industry. Focusing on improving the performance and safety of sport surfacing for the players, he developed several sport surfacing patents that led the industry innovation from 2nd generation infilled turf all the way up to 5th generation non-infill turf technologies. Operations included fiber manufacturer Polyloom (now TenCate USA), Playfield, All Pro Turf, Laykold, Ozite, Instant Turf and Sportec.

In 1976, he founded Omnisport International, and developed and internationally marketed infill synthetic surfacing systems, under the marks Omniturf, Omnicourt and Omnigreen.

A History of Firsts

  • First infill synthetic turf for football fields in North America,University of Oregon Autzen stadium 1984-2001
  • First synthetic turf pitch for professional soccer in Europe installed at QPR London in 1981
  • First installations of infill surfaces in Europe for field hockey and soccer 1980
  • First installation of infill synthetic turf in England, All England Club Wimbledon 1981
  • Sand and rubber synthetic turf infill patent 1983 (3rd generation)

 

In 1997, Tomarin developed the 4th generation sport surfacing under the brand XLTurf. This system focused on minimizing or completely eliminating rubber or sand infill materials of third generation surfacing with the improvement of safety and performance with the first use of expanded polyolefin as a shock underlayment.

 

 

 

This technology led the industry with: 

First FIFA-approved (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) 4th Generation of non infill turf systems installed at Dunfermline in 2003.

The Future of Synthetic Turf 

In partnership with NEXXFIELD inc., Revolution Turf is bringing our 5th generation patents pending non-infill and partial infill turf and EPP shock pads for both permanent installations and modular panel systems.
