The companies join more than 150 exhibitors representing various sectors including forestry, play, groundscare machinery, artificial surfaces, natural turf, landscaping products, pest control, line marking, waste management, sports equipment, litter and landfill and engine fuels.

Commenting on Ransomes Jacobsen’s attendance at SALTEX 2015, international marketing manager Karen Proctor said, “We have been supporters of the Institute of Groundsmanship for decades and of SALTEX in particular. The IOG do a good job of providing the groundscare industry with guidance and direction for all its members.

"Geoff Webb and the IOG board have made a bold decision to move SALTEX to a new venue and we wish the IOG every success at the NEC in November. It is very encouraging to see that the IOG have committed to an additional hall proving that the demand from exhibitors is there. Ransomes Jacobsen have committed to a significant stand space and will be displaying a major new product at the show, so I would urge the industry at large, to support the event.”

The show has also been boosted by the support of The Sports and Play Construction Association (SAPCA) – the trade association that represents businesses committed to raising the quality standards of all sports, physical activity, recreation and play facilities that are designed, built and maintained across the UK.

Following an agreement which sees the IOG and SAPCA working closely together this year, SAPCA will participate in and support SALTEX. As well as having a presence in the exhibition, SAPCA will support the show’s comprehensive educational programme, by presenting seminars on key technical subjects on the design, construction and maintenance of sports facilities.

IOG CEO Geoff Webb said: “The IOG is delighted to continue working with SAPCA, and we look forward to further extending the good relationship that we’ve developed over the years.”
