ESTC (EMEA Synthetic Turf Council) looks back on an inspiring and successful week at the FSB International Trade Fair in Cologne held on October 28-31,2025. It was an intense and rewarding few days filled with valuable meetings, networking opportunities, and meaningful exchanges of knowledge and experience within the synthetic turf industry.
The ESTC booth served as the Members’ Hub, a central meeting point for industry professionals to connect, collaborate, and discuss the latest trends and innovations shaping the future of synthetic turf.
ESTC extends its sincere thanks to its co-exhibitors – Tarkett Sports, Genan, Trocellen, EOC, MankinH, SportLink, Freudenberg, Evergreens UK, and TigerTurf – for their participation and support in making the hub a vibrant and dynamic space for visitors and members alike.
“FSB Cologne remains one of the most important international platforms for our industry. It’s where collaboration and innovation meet – and where we can collectively showcase the strength and sustainability of synthetic turf,” said Stefan Diderich, Director General/CEO of ESTC
The exhibition highlighted ESTC’s ongoing commitment to promoting knowledge sharing, sustainability, and cooperation among its members and the wider sports and leisure surface community.
