CCGrass has appointed Bryn Lee as managing director for their new European operations. Lee is well-informed about the artificial grass industry. Prior to joining CCGrass he held management positions at TigerTurf and Bonar Yarns, amongst many others. SportsTurf.eu spoke to Bryn Lee about the plans and ambitions CCGrass has for Europe.

When the National Stadium in Nicaragua needed to upgrade its artificial grass pitch, CCGrass’s Libra 50 system was chosen. For the client, it was important to achieve the FIFA Quality Pro standard, as this synthetic turf ground hosts the national Nicaraguan team’s matches. Working alongside local company partner “Stadium Source”, the project was completed and the pitch passed with flying colours.

With a full range of products designed, tufted and backed before delivery into the global sports and landscape market, CCGrass is well placed to understand special situations that occasionally arise. In the development of unique additives that are applied within its yarn, CCGrass now has systems that are designed to cope with excessive heat, bacteria and static electricity.

Around the world, over 1000 artificial turf football pitches are disposed of annually, and can’t be fully recycled due to either latex or PU secondary backing coats. This has seen many fields go to landfill sites or simply be stored for later disposal – an unacceptable situation for future sustainability.

CCGrass, the world’s largest producer of synthetic turf is pleased to announce the appointment of Bryn Lee as Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’) for the new European office, to be opened shortly in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
