Schmitz LLC

Schmitz LLC specializes in shock pad solutions for artificial turf fields through their ProPlay® and ProField® product lines. Founded in 1935 as a transportation company, the organization has evolved into a foam technology specialist serving customers worldwide through three specialized divisions.

The company's Sports & Play division engineers shock pads designed for safety, durability, and optimal performance in synthetic turf applications. Their ProField shock pads are available in roll foam format, providing foundational support for artificial turf systems. All ProPlay-Sport shock pads have been tested according to the EN 15330-4:2022 standard in accredited laboratories.

Schmitz LLC operates with a focus on circular economy principles through their foam recycling division, which transforms XPE foam offcuts into raw materials for sustainable products. This material recovery process keeps foam residues in circulation rather than generating waste. The company also supplies XPE foam rolls, blocks, and sheets under the RoFoam® brand for various industrial applications.

With over 90 years of experience in foam processing, the family-owned business develops products that address the growing trend toward organic infill and reduced performance infill in artificial turf systems, where properly engineered shock pads become increasingly critical for field performance.
