What Grasser does

Grasser is a Ukrainian sports infrastructure services company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Kyiv, specializing in the design, construction, and ongoing maintenance of football fields. The company delivers turnkey construction for full-size and mini football pitches using natural or artificial turf, integrated with specialized subsystems including automated irrigation, drainage, and underground soil heating. Core engineering capabilities span soil analysis and base preparation, drainage and stormwater installation, automated pump-and-rotor watering systems, and ground heating infrastructure designed to extend playing seasons. A dedicated in-house team of approximately 15 includes agronomists, civil engineers, project managers, and field specialists supported by a proprietary equipment fleet, enabling a 60-day construction timeline per field.

Grasser serves a diversified customer base of professional football clubs (Ukrainian Premier League and lower divisions), educational institutions, municipal and government entities, and amateur clubs across Ukraine, with notable credentials including the irrigation and heating system reconstruction at NSC Olimpiyskiy in Kyiv for the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final and EU Neighbourhood Programme-funded work at Stadion Lokomotiv in Kovel. The business model combines one-time project-based construction revenue, recurring multi-year maintenance contracts on 25+ football fields, and a growing e-commerce retail line selling grass seeds, fertilizers, LED stadium lighting, goals, nets, and irrigation equipment. Pricing is quote-based per project, with custom cost estimates for each scope of work. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, leveraging the company website, phone outreach, Facebook presence, word-of-mouth referrals, and participation in public procurement and grant-funded tenders. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding or parent entity.
