Classic Turf Joins Tarkett Sports: A New Chapter in Our Legacy of Excellence

At Classic Turf, we have always asked one question: “How can we do this better?” For over four decades, this simple question has propelled our commitment to building industry-leading sports surfaces. Founded by Tumer Eren, whose passion for innovation led him from maintaining tennis courts in Connecticut to founding his own company, Classic Turf has thrived on ingenuity and excellence. Tumer’s pioneering vision took the industry by storm with patented systems that revolutionized sports surface durability and performance, particularly with post-tension concrete technology.

Now, we’re thrilled to announce that Classic Turf has joined Tarkett Sports, a global leader in sports construction and surface innovation. Tarkett Sports is known for its enduring quality and sustainability practices, trusted by some of the world’s most celebrated venues. With Classic Turf now part of the Tarkett Sports family, we’re combining our expertise with Tarkett’s comprehensive product portfolio and global resources to enhance our ability to deliver the best in sports surfaces.

As part of this new chapter, Classic Turf will continue to be led by John Eren, Tumer’s son, as our new President. Having worked alongside his father for years, John brings a profound understanding of our history, values, and commitment to quality. With John at the helm, Classic Turf remains rooted in the vision and standards that have made us a leader in the industry.

Together, Classic Turf and Tarkett Sports will continue to set new standards in sports surfaces, building on a legacy of passion and excellence that’s designed to last a lifetime.
