J&E Sports takes a seat in the luxury sky box TOP Oss

On 25 November, TOP Oss officially opened its new Business Plaza, consisting of a business lounge and ten luxury skyboxes. As a true Oss-based company and enthusiastic supporter of the club, J&E Sports has purchased one of these skyboxes.

John van Gennip, Managing Director and owner of J&E Sports, explains: “We will use the skybox as a meeting room for discussions with our parent company Antea Group and for consultations with our clients. The space is also suitable for small celebrations, business dinners or informal gatherings with business relations.”

The opening of the Business Plaza was made even more festive for all sponsors and relations present, as FC Oss won their match that day against Jong FC Utrecht with an impressive 4–2 victory.

At the Heart of the Community

For J&E Sports, the line between business and the football club is a thin one. “We are a true Oss company and we are big fans of this club,” says Van Gennip.
The skybox of the artificial turf installation and maintenance company proudly displays a large “Top Oss” flag on the wall—the name FC Oss carried between 1994 and 2009.
“J&E Sports is deeply rooted in the community, and FC Oss has been our club for many years.”

Oss van Morgen

Business Plaza forms part of the municipal development plan Oss van Morgen. In this area, new housing has been built in and around the existing parks, the old hospital grounds have been redeveloped, and the Talentencampus has been established. This campus aims to create synergy between education and the business community. It consists of two components: Central Plaza, with education provided by a regional training centre (ROC), and Business Plaza, home to various companies that offer internships to ROC students.

FC Oss plays an important role in the municipal strategy, which aims to increase the appeal of the area for residents and businesses by promoting health, well-being and sporting activity.

Artificial turf show garden for private customers

Many private customers appreciate seeing the possibilities of artificial grass in advance. Especially now that there are more varieties available for different applications. Visiting a show garden offers the perfect solution. At De Tuinen van Appeltern, visitors can explore a dedicated artificial grass show garden.

Applications

Most homeowners choose to install artificial grass in their garden. Increasingly, however, people are discovering its broader uses both in and around the home. Think of balconies, bedrooms, living rooms, around swimming pools or beneath trampolines. As you can see, the possibilities are extensive.

Ready on Time for the Hockey World Cup

Despite heavy time pressure and challenging weather conditions, J&E Sports successfully completed the installation of two GreenFields water-based hockey pitches in time for the Hockey World Cup.

J&E Sports was responsible for the full installation of both GreenFields water-based pitches. Despite the tight schedule and poor weather, our team ensured that the fields were fully playable at the start of the Hockey World Cup in The Hague.

DURABLE SEALING TECHNIQUE FOR ARTIFICIAL TURF PITCHES

The demand for sustainable and recyclable artificial turf systems is increasing. Several solutions have already been developed to make artificial turf more sustainable, such as TenCate’s innovative woven turf. Until now, however, no efficient solution had been found for the sustainable installation of recyclable artificial turf. J&E Sports, the market leader in artificial turf construction, has now developed a sustainable sealing technique that enables such fields to be installed quickly, seamlessly and in an environmentally responsible manner—while ensuring that the entire field remains fully recyclable. The new method, Sealen by J&E Sports, was successfully introduced this week during the construction of the new artificial turf pitch for Heracles Almelo.

Previously, sustainable installation often involved stitching the rolls of artificial turf together. The drawback of this method is that it is time-consuming and extremely difficult to achieve a seamless result. In addition, the line markings could not be stitched and therefore still had to be glued. As a result, such a field could no longer be fully recycled at the end of its lifespan.

J&E Sports has long been searching for a solution in which both the tape and the adhesive carrier share the same material DNA as the artificial turf. This ensures that the entire system can be fully recycled once it reaches the end of its service life. Together with BIT and H.B. Fuller, this solution has been found in sealing the turf rolls using a special hotmelt. The new method, Sealen by J&E Sports, uses an extremely strong hotmelt that emits less heat to the surrounding materials, preventing the fibres and backing from melting or deforming. In addition, the adhesive speed can be adjusted steplessly and the adhesive thickness can be precisely controlled.

With this innovation, J&E Sports now offers a sustainable, cost-effective installation technique that can compete with the speed of traditional gluing while retaining the environmental benefits of stitching artificial turf together. Based on the positive experience gained during the installation of the new artificial turf field for Heracles Almelo, J&E Sports has already received enquiries from both domestic and international markets for the application of its new Sealen by J&E Sports method.
