Hatko

What Hatko does

Hatko Sport, founded in 2006 in Turkey, is a manufacturer and installer of artificial sports turf, hybrid grass systems, and sport flooring surfaces serving global professional sports venues, municipalities, educational institutions, and landscaping clients. The company operates a 30,000 m² manufacturing facility in Osmaniye with an annual production capacity of 6 million m², making it one of the top 10 artificial grass manufacturers worldwide. Hatko holds licenses from FIFA, IAAF, FIH, and ITF — the four major sports governing bodies — and has accumulated 400+ FIFA-certified pitches across 100 countries and 4 continents. Its proprietary product portfolio includes the patented Omega turf blade profile, the Omega XL system (developed with TenCate under an exclusive yarn partnership), the Hybridgrass carpet system for reinforcing natural turf, the Bio Green fusion system (latex/polyurethane-free), and a range of athletic track (Athlon), acrylic (Acrylon), and indoor sports flooring (Purlon) products.

Hatko's business model centers on two integrated revenue streams: (1) hardware sales of artificial turf and flooring systems to enterprise stadium operators, sports clubs, municipalities, and landscaping buyers, and (2) turn-key professional services covering design, installation, and maintenance delivered through company-employed installation teams. The go-to-market is enterprise-focused, leveraging a global agent network, an international sales office in Istanbul, and a direct quote-request channel via the company website, with major sporting events (UEFA Champions League and Europa League finals) functioning as flagship reference wins. The company sells primarily on the basis of regulatory certifications, documented durability (Lisport XL cycle performance, tuftlock strength metrics), and the visibility of high-profile installations rather than on disclosed pricing. Marquee clients include Sofi Stadium (USA), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (UK), Estadio Metropolitano (Atletico Madrid, Spain), Philips Stadium (PSV Eindhoven, Netherlands), Atatürk Olympic Stadium (Turkey — 2023 UEFA Champions League Final), Wembley Stadium (UK — 2024 UEFA Champions League Final), and Stadion Energa Gdansk (Poland — 2021 UEFA Europa League Final).
