New Ashford International’s Jacobsen turf products help upgrade Sugathadasa Stadium

Earlier last month, the Sugathadasa National Sports Complex Authority made great strides in the development process of the Sugathadasa Stadium located in Colombo by partnering with New Ashford International Ltd, an enterprise specialising in the sales and service of material handling equipment, compressed air equipment and racking systems. 

The link between the two parties was commemorated by presenting the Assistant Director of Sports at the Sugathadasa National Sports Complex Authority with world-renowned products such as Ransomes Jacobsen lawnmowers and Bernhard grinders on 26 April. 

The enterprise and the products were specifically selected by the authority as they consist of high quality technical specifications and are manufactured in Europe. Both Ransomes Jacobson lawnmowers and Bernhard grinders are brands that are highly recognised around the globe. New Ashford International Ltd. has functioned as the exclusive agent in the country for Ransomes Jacobsen for the last 15 years and Bernhard grinders since last year.

Speaking on this beneficial partnership, New Ashford International Director Vishal Jayasekera said: “New Ashford is proud to partner Sri Lanka’s premier multipurpose stadium and provide Sugathadasa Stadium products which have quality, craftsmanship and expertise spanning over 95 years.”

Dedicated solely to delivering perfectly groomed turf, Jacobsen equipment is used on some of the finest formal turf areas across the United States and the world, through an extensive distribution network and the international Ransomes brand.

Bernhard and Company Ltd. are the leaders in the grinder market and one of the world’s most influential forces in the presentation and quality of turf grass.  Bernhard’s grinder business dates back over 150 years. The relationships they have built up over the years through the support of Bernhard’s work and their ethos of excellent product, unrivalled service and the key focus on money saving maintenance has kept Bernhard at the top of this ever-growing market.
