Moose Sports Surfaces Ltd

What Moose Sports Surfaces Ltd does

Moose Sports Surfaces Ltd is a Chicago-based distributor and installer of athletic flooring and surfacing solutions, founded in 1989 and operating as the exclusive Illinois and Wisconsin distributor for Tarkett Sports Indoor products. The firm serves K-12 schools, fitness clubs, YMCAs, religious institutions, home-gym customers, and government/military accounts across the Upper Midwest, with headcount of 1–10 employees consistent with a regionally focused specialty distributor. Named customers include Hinsdale Central, New Trier, Loyola Academy, Niles Notre Dame, Glenbard West, Lane Tech, and Northshore Country Day high schools, as well as the King Community Center and the Great Lakes Naval Base.

The product portfolio spans multiple material chemistries — vulcanized rubber, polyurethane systems, PVC vinyl, and synthetic turf — delivered through both proprietary and distributed brands. Proprietary lines include Moose RubberRoll, Moose LockTile, Moose Turf, and XtremeTile, while distributed offerings include GameCourt, MomentumXT, and SportLastic surfacing systems. Applications range from gymnasiums and fieldhouses to running tracks, tennis courts, and dedicated pickleball installations, indicating broad technical coverage of the institutional athletic-surfacing category.

The business operates a project-based, consultative sales model in which customers are acquired deal-by-deal through specification, bidding, or referral rather than recurring subscriptions. Demand is structurally recurring on multi-year replacement cycles typical of installed athletic surfaces, supported by Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) certifications across nine states and Active Member status with the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) that position the firm to compete for institutional and public-sector contracts. Pricing and revenue mechanics are not disclosed in the available material.
