What Our Customers Say

Trusted by head groundsmen and facilities teams at the world's most demanding venues.

★★★★★

"I was incredibly impressed with this new formulation — there is no ghosting seen after cutting twice the following morning after application and the brightness of the line was amazing, with less paint used in marking out than with its current formulation. Even five hours of non-stop torrential rain during the tournament did not affect the brightness of the line."

Keith Kent
Twickenham Head Groundsman
★★★★★

"Linemark has been a life changer. The paint is fast and convenient to use and also offers safety benefits. We are now able to mark the pitch calmly just three hours before kick-off, knowing that the lines will be dry and well defined regardless of the weather conditions. In the dark, you can tell that the lines are much brighter."

Jony Cordero
Groundsman, Club Nacional de Football, Uruguayan Premier Division
