Covermaster Celebrates 40 Years of Professional Service
Covermaster, the leading supplier of sports surface covers in North America, announces its 40th year servicing the sports and recreation community. Founded in Weston, Ontario in 1969, the company has experienced 40 years of growth and looks forward to a bright future.
What started out as a local rental company in the 70’s quickly began to specialize in sports surface covers in the 1980’s. With the expansion of the event and concert industry in the 80’s, the “Covermaster Tarp” was born to service the grounds crew at Ivor Wynn Stadium to host the Pink Floyd world tour. Who would have thought that these simple, flame retardant tarps would pave the way for the complex stage setups of today?
Looking forward to the company’s 41st year, here are some basic principles that have guided Covermaster to over 40 years of success…
Safety
Safety has always been of the utmost concern at Covermaster. From the NFL’s greatest heroes, to high-school gym class, Covermaster has always put a foot forward to ensure the highest level of safety for its customers. By constantly testing the safety of their products, Covermaster has become a pioneer for safety in the industry and has earned the trust of thousands.
Quality Products
Covermaster’s mandate has always been to provide high quality products. When some companies cut corners, Covermaster stood firm and aligned itself with quality products and manufacturers. Through actively engaging with manufacturers and focusing on long-term solutions, Covermaster has been able to provide quality products at any budget.
Neighborly Service
While Covermaster holds a long list of prestigious clients they have maintained a customer service experience centered on down-to-earth, reliable service. In a world of automated messaging services and outsourced support, Covermaster has continued to take a personal approach to their customers. Sales reps travel directly to the stadiums and ballparks of America to meet face-to-face and provide hands-on assistance. From the minute a call is placed, to the execution of the final event, the Covermaster team is there every step of the way.
Research and Development.
Keeping informed with industry trends and developments has given Covermaster keen insight into market trends. Bob Curry, President of Covermaster, has won many awards including must recently, the Sports Turf Managers Associations’s Harry C. Gill Memorial award. When asked about the importance of research and development, Bob commented that “We’re always looking at new things in this industry. Our mandate is ‘What would work better?’”.
Covermaster would like to thank its loyal customers and industry partners for 40 years of exceptional work – it is your trust and support that has kept us ahead of the game!
