Partner for
sports clubs
What we believe
Sport is about impact. Draintalent stands for a ‘green impact’ by creating optimal, natural grass pitches. In-depth knowledge of technology, climate and sport is used to make a product that not only improves sport, but also the planet.
Draintalent: a partner for sports clubs that want to create sustainable, strong, natural, high-level pitches.
How we do it
There is nothing better than walking out onto a freshly mown sports field with that distinctive smell of freshly cut grass. A surface where the ball rolls as it should and sliding tackles can be made without injury.
Until now, it has not been possible to create optimal, year-round growing and playing conditions.
However, Draintalent has now accomplished this.
Draintalent is a unique circular soil management system, ensuring optimal conditions and balancing the moisture content within the soil.
The result
- High-quality surfaces
- Less cancellations
- Increased use
This circular system provides enormous advantages regarding sustainability.
The Draintalent system is a unique concept in field management.

Behind the scenes there are multiple members constantly thriving for the best system for your sports field. Here we would like to introduce you to our management team.

Dave Muis | Head of Sales
Born and raised at a golfcourse, sportsturf is in Dave’s blood. After years of being a Head-Greenkeeper Dave decided it was time to broaden his horizons. Dave’s interest in plant data prompted him to take up a position in greenhouse horticulture. Sportsturf still retained its attractiveness, so when he was given the opportunity to use his accumulated knowledge from both subjects as an advisor for DrainTalent, the decision was made quickly.

Wesley Aaldering | Head of Research and Development
