New to the synthetic turf sector is the European Turf Group (ETG), formed by Arnoud Fiolet as an independent networking company to operate within the industry.

Its aim is to bring various suppliers together to do business and - through its contacts - offer ease of access to a wider European and global sales and distribution network.

Manufacturing companies that want to either dispose of their excess production capacity or introduce new products, can work with others to find opportunities to do so.

ETG will offer consultancy and - if required - a variety of sales and marketing services to those who want to operate within conditions which are currently seeing an excessive supply into the market requiring new strategies and new sales and distribution concepts to make the sector work.

The group believes, based on its extensive experience and knowledge of the industry, it can play a significant role in the future growth of the synthetic turf market, offering considerable cost, environmental and direct labour savings.
