TDI INTERNATIONAL AG

What TDI INTERNATIONAL AG does

TDI INTERNATIONAL AG is a privately held parent entity that operates precision subsurface drainage and golf course construction services in North America through two wholly-owned sister companies, XGD Systems and TDI Golf. The group was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Jensen Beach, Florida, with a regional operating entity, TDI Golf Canada, serving the Canadian market. XGD Systems was carved out in 2004 to focus exclusively on engineered drainage installations, while TDI Golf handles golf course construction, restoration, and renovation — together forming an integrated offering across the course lifecycle.

The core technical offering is XGD Systems' precision subsurface drainage system: engineered drainage pathways installed beneath the turf surface that lower the water table, improve soil oxygen flow, deepen root systems, and reduce surface saturation. Each installation is tailored to site-specific soil profiles, terrain, and performance objectives, using precision trenching methods designed to preserve surface integrity during installation. The company also offers system design and planning, renovation and upgrade work on existing drainage, and technical consultation — covering both greens/tee boxes and broader fairway installations for golf courses, plus sports fields, municipal facilities, and commercial landscapes.

The business runs on a project-based professional services model with enterprise field sales: inquiries convert through a 24-hour-response consultation, an on-site expert assessment, and a detailed proposal with timeline and costs. The go-to-market is direct — no resellers or intermediaries — targeting golf course superintendents, owners, and facility managers at private country clubs, championship-level venues, and athletic facilities. Revenue, ownership, and headcount are not publicly disclosed; the firm discloses no funding rounds and operates without public-market exposure.
