Portland, Ore. (Vocus) March 11, 2009
The steady growth for the leader in the sports surfacing industry carries on as FieldTurf Construction has recently opened an office in Wilsonville, Oregon that will operate as a regional office for the world’s largest sports surfacing manufacturer. This new office will allow FieldTurf to be closer to its West Coast clientele and properly service the company’s growing customer base in this region. The Oregon office will be headed up by long-time field construction expert Billy Walker who will assume the role of Regional Director of Operations at FieldTurf. The Wilsonville staff of ten employees holds a combined 40+ years of experience in the sports surfacing industry.
The Wilsonville office is the second of many ‘FieldTurf Construction’ locations slated to open around the country in the coming months. These regional offices will help to ensure that FieldTurf continues to exceed their customers’ expectations with regards to obtaining first-class local service.
“It is with a tremendous amount of pleasure that we announce the opening of our new regional office in Wilsonville,” said FieldTurf Tarkett CEO Joe Fields. “Our local presence in the region will allow us to focus on exceeding customer expectations in terms of service, customer care, and quality. Our employees in Oregon will operate under the same commitment to excellence that FieldTurf has become known for throughout the world.”
FieldTurf is currently in use in some of the most prominent institutions in the state including the University of Oregon and Oregon State for both football and baseball home games. In total, there are over 80 state-of-the-art FieldTurf installations throughout the state. Twenty-one of the NFL’s 32 teams currently use FieldTurf at their stadiums and/or their practice facilities, in addition to over 50 NCAA D-1 stadiums across the country, for various sports.
