From greenhouse to stadium: powered by passionate people
What once started as an idea in the rose nursery has evolved into a globally embraced system. At the start, founder Nico faced challenges convincing the industry of this revolution in sports field management. But now, our customer base has grown to more than 500 clients across 8 different sports worldwide. Today’s success is owed to the passionate and dedicated members of the SGL team, who are all driven by a ‘customer-first’ approach and are consistently striving to innovate and do better.
