Origen Español Certificado (OEC)

Realturf, Spanish manufacturer of artificial grass, has been awarded the Origen Español Certificado (OEC) distinction. This certification helps highlight and enhance the economic and social value of Spanish companies that manufacture in Spain, making them more visible and recognisable to consumers.

Products that carry the OEC seal undergo a strict audit and component verification process to confirm their national origin.

Realturf manufacturing process

R&D and Design

Our R&D team works year-round on the conceptualisation, design, prototyping and testing of new products in a constant process of continuous improvement. We also integrate feedback collected from thousands of clients worldwide, always with the aim of finding the perfect balance between performance and aesthetics.

3D Absolute

Extrusion and fibre format

This is a key stage for product quality and technology integration. The selected raw materials are melted and extruded through a perforated steel plate to create the filaments that will later become part of the final product. These threads are stretched until they reach the thickness of natural grass fibres, and then combined into multi-filament spools.

Tufting

Hundreds of spools feed a tufting machine that stitches the fibres into the backing of the artificial grass. At the same time, blades cut the fibres to the desired height, density, and stitch rate, which ultimately determine the final technical characteristics of the product.

Supervision

Any irregular stitch is immediately detected by a supervisor and corrected manually. Following our strict quality protocol, each product undergoes a triple inspection: during tufting, after passing through the oven just before packaging, and through laboratory analysis of each production batch.

Coating and Perforation

A roller applies a coating layer to the backing, and the product is heat-cured in an oven, giving it dimensional stability and excellent fibre bonding. During this stage, the backing is also perforated with hot needles to guarantee effective drainage in our products.

Laboratory Testing

Every roll undergoes internal quality checks to ensure compliance with our ISO 9001 standards. In addition, many of our products are tested in independent laboratories and certified according to the most demanding international regulations such as FIFA, RFEF, ITF, FEP, FIH, and WR.

Packaging, Labeling and Storage

Finally, the artificial grass is packaged in rolls of up to 100 metres and stored until delivery. Each roll is labelled with a barcode that identifies the production batch and allows full product traceability from manufacturing to installation in your home or sports facility. From our logistics centre in Alicante, we ship to thousands of clients across five continents.

TRUSTED BY PROFESSIONALS

There are endless possibilities during the artificial grass design and manufacture, with a wide selection of fiber polymers or backing layer sealings.  These make the final product and its performance quite different and unique. At Realturf we work to give our clients the future of artificial grass with the development of REALTECH® Technical Artificial Grass.  This technology improves the grass functionality in terms of aesthetics, durability and improves our clients´ quality of life.

In recent years, the term “technical sportswear” has become very popular.  Technical sportswear refers to the clothing designed specifically for each sport.   The equipment required by a person who practices mountain hiking is not the same for a person who runs in the park, even though there are similarities between both sports.  A similar situation happens with artificial grass products.  At Realturf we design unique collections every year with specific characteristics for each situation.
