STIGA Hits the Ground Running with RFU Partnership

STIGA Hits the Ground Running with RFU Partnership: The STIGA team have been hard at work delivering innovative ground-care solutions to rugby clubs across England, following its appointment as Official Groundskeeping Partner of England’s Rugby Football Union (RFU).

The multi-year partnership with the RFU underlines STIGA’s commitment to taking the pressure off volunteers and grounds teams, while helping to create world-class playing surfaces at every level of the game, from grassroots to the elite.

As part of the agreement, STIGA has already begun rolling out equipment to clubs and sports facilities nationwide. From England Rugby training centres to local community pitches, the garden care brand is supporting the upkeep of green spaces across the country.

Clubs have welcomed STIGA’s cutting-edge autonomous robot mowers and battery-powered equipment, designed to help deliver professional-quality results with minimal effort. Early feedback from clubs has been overwhelmingly positive:

“We are really excited to be part of this initiative.”

“Thank you for giving us the opportunity to use your robot mowers.”

“We’re looking forward to seeing what this super kit can do.”

Further demonstrating its commitment to the wider rugby community, STIGA has also launched an exclusive discount programme for all England Rugby clubs, players and members, available via stiga.com. A portion of proceeds from these purchases will be reinvested directly back into the RFU community, reinforcing STIGA’s mission to support rugby from the ground up.

This landmark partnership strengthens STIGA’s growing presence in the sports sector and builds on existing collaborations with leading clubs across Europe, including Stade Toulousain in France, Bayer 04 Leverkusen in Germany, Benetton Rugby in Italy and Lech Poznań in Poland. With more than 90 years of lawn-care expertise, STIGA continues to expand its footprint in the professional sports market, helping pitches perform at their very best, match after match.

Bunker Solution Expands Internationally

Bunker Solution Expands Internationally: Bunker Solution, the fast-growing bunker liner system that’s helped courses across North America achieve better playability and reduced maintenance costs, is now available in Europe, the Middle East and other global golf markets.

“We’ve had a ton of interest from clubs around the world that are doing renovations, so we decided the time was right to expand our distribution,” said CEO Kevin Clark. “It’s a great fit for a global golf market that faces tough labor challenges and high expectations for bunker quality.”

Long-time golf industry executive Anthony Mocklow has joined the Bunker Solution team as their International Sales Director. “I’m really excited to share this technology with facilities in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere that desperately need better bunker performance,” he said.

Mocklow brings extensive knowledge of golf facilities and trends around the globe. “We’re seeing more clubs updating and remodeling their courses and Bunker Solution is exactly the right option for many of them. It’s a great fit for today’s market because labor is a huge challenge everywhere as is the demand for excellent playability.”

The patented Bunker Solution lining system was developed by Clark two decades ago when he was a Texas superintendent seeking better bunker construction methods. The system uses a liner that’s similar to synthetic turf. Bunker Solution prevents contamination, dramatically reduces washouts, holds sand on faces, eliminates the need for gravel, requires less sand, and doesn’t cause perched water tables. The system is now being used widely in the United States and Canada as the course remodeling and renovation market has grown over the past decade.
