NGI specializes as a leading manufacturer of synthetic turf for sport surfaces.

In 2000, the new innovative non-grass system for tennis courts, Nova'Pro-Bounce, is being introduced to the hard court market as an answer for damage and deterioration of courts that has a patent pending. All due to the need & our research and development.

Unique in it's design for lovers of clay surface play. . . Nova'Pro-Clay.

In 1998, with the addition of the KramerMade trademarks and technology with it's chief designer-engineer-marketing executive, Dale Hansen, we have expanded our technology manifold. In addition, Jack Kramer added his prestigious name to our tennis products and confidence in the benefits of our court surfaces bring to the world of tennis.

Leading NGI, who absorbed Novagrass Int'l in 2005, is Rick Burke with experience in synthetic sports marketing since the early 1980's. The combined years of national and international marketing and technology of Burke and Hansen exceeds 36 years. Truly, the team of the century. In addition to the Chattanooga head office, Hansen heads up the marketing office for the Western/Pacific Region.

The marketing staff includes the Northeast in Connecticut and the Southeast in Florida. Authorized Dealer Network dots the States to serve the needs of our customers. Where a need exists and a customer desires a product, we will supply and install where an Authorized Dealer may not exist. Our goal is to satisfy the market place wherever it may take us. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

Supporting the manufacturing and technical development is the installation technical and experience of the staff. Without the expertise of the Installation staff, the satisfaction of customers and Dealers in the market place could not be achieved. Heading up this effort is Steve Cox.

NGI has been involved with installations as large as full sports complexes and as small as the home back yard putting green. We are prepared to take our potential customers to a higher level of satisfaction in sport surfaces that are 'Designed & Built for the Human Body.'
