Azrock, Domco, Harris Tarkett, Sintelon, Sommer
and Tarkett. The adoption of Tarkett as a global brand is recent (2003),
but our history is marked with innovations and product advances. |

FieldTurf Tarkett' Prestige range is, therefore, now manufactured, marketed and laid under licence from FieldTurf, thus protecting their clients and partners from any legal action |
