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.
