ANAHEIM, Calif., April 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mondo, a global leader in the sports flooring market, will feature several of its indoor sport and turf products as a returning exhibitor at the NIRSA Annual Conference & Recreational Sports Exposition, today and Wednesday at the Anaheim Convention Center (Booth 615).
Mondo has been a sponsor of National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association, the leading resource for professional and student development, education, and research in collegiate recreational sports, since 1998.
At the expo, the company will display a selection of products that are ideally suited for a wide range of recreational sports facilities, including its Advance, Sport Impact and Super X indoor sport surfaces and Mondoturf artificial turf. Mondoturf continues to gain popularity among recreational and collegiate facilities because it costs less to maintain than natural grass, offers outstanding drainage capabilities and is capable of withstanding heavy, year-round use.
Among Mondo's recent installations were three student recreation fields at the University of Missouri, which is widely recognized for its outstanding facilities. (Read more about the University of Missouri installation here [PDF].)
"We are proud to continue our longstanding partnership with NIRSA and to support the organization's mission by providing the highest-quality and most environmentally friendly and cost-effective sports flooring and turf solutions to its members," said Federico Stroppiana, president of Mondo North and South America.
