CALHOUN, Ga. - November 16, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

In a continued effort to offer customers an extensive portfolio of products, Tarkett Sports and FieldTurf are proud to announce the addition of ShockBase Pro to their collection. Available exclusively through Tarkett Sports, ShockBase Pro is an expanded polypropylene shock pad that delivers leading performance and drainage capabilities.

"ShockBase Pro was born from a desire to offer an improved solution for our customers. Offering a full-service approach is a core value at Tarkett Sports. We share our customers' relentless desire for improved quality and are obsessed with offering them more, and better. We recognized that now was the right time to introduce an expanded polypropylene option to help offer a simplified purchasing experience with greater value," said Eric Daliere, President, Tarkett North America & Tarkett Sports.

Now equipped with an exclusive and reimagined expanded polypropylene option, FieldTurf can design and offer a complete system for customers, unlike others that are limited to offering a single component. From start to finish, every aspect of the field design is controlled by FieldTurf's expert team. By eliminating potential finger-pointing between vendors and offering a single-supplier warranty for the shock pad and the artificial turf system, the approach offers unmatched value.

ShockBase Pro was developed by the company's Innovation & Performance Center in collaboration with leading engineers and reputable fabricators. The goal was to develop a system that addressed major customer frustrations. Like with all company innovations, Tarkett Sports learned from existing customers to help reinvent traditional designs and offers a system that would break the mold.

The new ShockBase Pro system features:

High-Quality Material Manufacturing: Made with U.S.-sourced raw materials, ShockBase Pro showcases leading product design and quality. Expanded polypropylene materials have been trusted for over 20 years.

Industry-Leading Performance: ShockBase Pro performs with the best. Independent testing has shown the system to deliver leading GMAX and HIC scores, shock absorption, vertical deformation, and optimal results in a multitude of critical system tests.

Complete System Design: As FieldTurf can offer all the components of the field, it can design a truly optimal system where all parts work together. There is no one-size-fits-all approach with FieldTurf.

Faster Drainage Flow Rate: ShockBase Pro drains nearly twice as fast as competitive systems. With wide drainage holes and specially designed sloped drainage tunnels, water flows quickly through to the underside of the pad. Once under the pad, the water is met with a unique design to allow for rapid dispersion.

Having already completed several successful ShockBase Pro installations, and with over 25 years of experience building sports fields, Tarkett Sports and FieldTurf are confident that their new expanded polypropylene shock pad system will make a big impact.

With Tarkett Sports, you're dealing with one company and one solution.

One-stop shop for PH products gets designer-led update

Filipino craftsmanship and creativity was on full display at the launch on Thursday of Kultura Atelier at SM Makati. The one-stop shop of the country’s largest department store chain is known for its wide range of Philippine-made products ranging from comestibles to clothes.  It is also a favorite shopping destination of returning Filipinos who want to take a piece of home back to their country of work. Many tourists also make a beeline to Kultura for souvenirs of their time in the tropics.  With the opening of Kultura Atelier, shoppers now have more options when an event calls for elevated Filipiniana. At the mini fashion show to mark the launch last week, the designers who were tapped to join Kultura’s roster presented pieces from their collection now available in store.  Daryl Maat showed updates to his playful redesign of the short-sleeved barong. Instead of traditional scrollwork or geometric designs, Maat’s features kid-style line drawings stitched in colored embroidery thread. Former professional model Alvin Degamo of Wear Your Culture was wearing one of his own pieces that afternoon, a denim jacket with fabric insets featuring embroidery inspired by the Manobos of Mindanao. He said his pieces are limited because it takes time for the weavers to finish a panel and send it to him.  Degamo then sends the panel to Lumban, Laguna to be embroidered by sewers he has long worked with. “I want to give the pieces from Wear Your Culture something more. Rather than use a woven panel as is, I have it embroidered or hand painted so the finished product stands out from others like it,” Degamo said.  Veteran Cebu-based designer Phillip Rodriguez has also thrown his hat into the retail shopping ring with Isla by Filippo. His elegant pieces shown that afternoon included a red terno ensemble with fabric that featured a solihya-like pattern.  Rodriguez also presented two black barong Tagalog that looked sleek and had a slimming effect.  Other brands and designers that are now part of Kultura Atelier include Fam Ph, Goodluck Humans, Harold and Harry, Jo-Rel Espina, Ken Samudio, Martin Uy, Rodolfo by Puey Quinones, Sari Lazaro, Tim Tam Ong and Zarah Juan. The festivities that afternoon extended beyond the runway with a perfume bar by Tadhana Fragrance, and jewelry customization by Nazrea Pearls. Kultura Atelier and Kultura at SM Makati still share the same space but the former  consists mainly of designer apparel and fashion accessories while the latter carries home decor and food items. In praise of the coconut There are dozens of food and decorative items for sale this weekend at the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) National Trade Fair. This time the coconut is in the spotlight with a wide range of food items ranging from coconut leaf-wrapped suman and extra virgin coconut oil to beaded hanging lamps and Christmas decor made of the tree’s different elements.  As the second coconut-focused trade fair this year, the initiative highlights the versatility of the Philippine coconut industry through innovative products in food, wellness, beauty, textiles, home essentials and handicrafts. The fair is open free to the public until Sunday and is a good place to jumpstart Christmas shopping.  Beyond showcasing local ingenuity, however, the fair opens doors for MSMEs and coconut farmer-beneficiaries to connect with institutional buyers, retailers and consumers, expanding their market reach and business opportunities.
