SAFER GAMES IN GREEK PLAYGROUNDS

Petros Rekkas

Playtop Licensing Limited, the Newark-based supplier of impact-absorbing play surfacing, has added to its growing list of overseas licensees by appointing Ergosport to cover the Greece and Cyprus territories.

Based in Athens and established over fifteen years ago, Ergosport is one of Greece’s leading sports and play surfacing contractors.

Ergosport managing director, Petros Rekkas, believes it’s an important move for the company: “Having Playtop in our portfolio reflects the Ergosport philosophy of only using quality products and suppliers. I believe the Greek and Cypriot markets are ready for this type of wet-pour surfacing for playgrounds – one that offers limitless design possibilities whilst keeping children safer.”

The appointment of Ergosport takes the number of countries now covered by Playtop to over 30. One and half million square metres of Playtop® surfacing have now been laid on playgrounds around the world in such prestigious sites as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, Euro Disney in France, the Emperor’s Gardens in Tokyo, Wentworth Golf Club and Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester.
