Jacquet SA

What Jacquet SA does

Jacquet SA is a Swiss private landscaping and sports surface construction company headquartered in Geneva, founded in 1920 (with operational history spanning over 100 years). The company designs, builds, renovates, and maintains sports facilities (tennis, football, rugby, padel, pickleball, multisports, athletics tracks, beach volleyball, pétanque, equestrian and golf), playgrounds, gardens, urban green spaces, and pools, primarily serving clients in Romandie (French-speaking Switzerland) and Haute-Savoie, France.

Its core products are proprietary surface systems backed by a portfolio of registered trademarks, including the Mixto® hybrid natural-synthetic turf, Soccer Pro ECONEXT® (a 100% recyclable synthetic grass from a patented process), New Grass Pro 4G® infill-free synthetic turf, NaturalCourt clay, GreenCourt® resin (Speed/Flex variants), OmniCourt® synthetic grass, the TopCourt series, and the PlayFlex®/PlayCork®/PlayMulch/PlayMark®/Pr©Overt® playground surface family. Specialized technical services include laser-guided intensive drainage and a proprietary Jacquet Special Sand Mix with 40+ years of formulation history. The company is B Corp certified and has committed to carbon neutrality by 2050.

Jacquet monetizes through project-based professional services: design, permitting, construction, and ongoing maintenance contracts. Pricing is custom-quoted and non-public, with multi-year maintenance contracts (e.g., ~154 tennis courts maintained annually) providing recurring revenue. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to municipalities, sports clubs, schools, healthcare facilities, and private/hospitality clients, supported by event sponsorships (Gonet Geneva Open ATP 250, Beach Pro Tour Futures Genève, Bol d'Or du Léman) and a brand portfolio spanning Jacquet, Jacquet Sport, Jacquet Jardin (Haute-Savoie), and La Pépinière Jacquet nursery. The company has completed over 2,400 tennis surfaces and 40,000 m² of certified playground surface.

Broad incumbents

• Tarkett Sports: Global sports flooring and surface division of Tarkett, offering indoor and outdoor sports surfaces. Overlaps with Jacquet's GreenCourt® resin and synthetic grass systems but at much larger international scale.
• Mondo: Global manufacturer of athletic tracks and sports flooring. Comparable in athletics track and indoor sports surface categories relevant to Jacquet's multisport and pistes business.
• Sport Group: European sports surface holding company (parent of Polytan, AstroTurf, Beynon). Competes across the same surface categories as Jacquet's sports facility business.
• FieldTurf: Leading North American synthetic turf manufacturer and installer for football/soccer/rugby. Direct competitor in synthetic turf supply (analogous to Jacquet's Soccer Pro ECONEXT® and Mixto®) but operates at much larger scale.
• idverde: Leading European landscape services provider. Comparable to Jacquet's garden, urban green space, and municipal landscaping service lines but at a much larger pan-European scale.

Direct peers

• Regupol: German manufacturer of sports, safety, and acoustic surfaces including playground safety flooring. Comparable to Jacquet's PlayFlex® and PlayCork® playground safety surface offerings.
• Saltex: Nordic sports facility construction and surfacing specialist. Closely comparable business model (turnkey sports facility construction and maintenance) with comparable sub-scale, regional footprint.
• Limonta Sport: Italian provider of sports surfaces, artificial turf, and athletic facility systems. Overlaps with Jacquet's football/rugby, tennis, and multisport installation offerings across European markets.
