HARO Sports Flooring Added as New Nike Grind Partner
July 16, 2010
New rosters have been posted, and HARO Sports Flooring is the newest member of Nike Grind’s power-punching, top-seeded team.
And if you thought tryouts for the high school basketball team were difficult, making the cut as one of Nike Grind’s premier surfacing partners is even tougher. Because our surfacing partners help us turn recycled athletic shoes into useful, high-quality sports flooring, we select only industry-leading companies that maintain the highest standards of quality and share our goals for sustainability.
HARO is just such a company, leading the international hardwood flooring market for nearly five decades. Headquartered in Rosenheim, Germany, HARO has installed more than 6,000 arenas around the world. They will use Nike Grind Foam, from parts of athletic shoes such as the midsole and upper, in the underlayment cushioning for a selection of its hardwood courts.
HARO was a shoo-in for the Nike Grind team. Why? Check out its winning qualities:
- HARO surfaces feature ISO 14001 ecologically sound production and exceed DIN Standards, the worldwide standard for durability, performance and protective properties of a sports floor.
- In addition to Nike Grind, HARO uses environmentally preferred materials, including timber from certified, sustainably managed forests.
- HARO finishes its floors with PERMADUR® high finish to increase durability and give a consistent and correct friction.
