50 years of sports history

The history of Polytan began half a century ago with the production of polyurethane-bonded synthetic surfaces by the company Firl + Schretter Sportstättenbau in Neuburg an der Danube. Since then, under the Polytan brand the company has rapidly become one of the world’s leading outdoor synthetic sports flooring manufacturers. In 1974, the company’s headquarters were relocated to Burgheim in southern Germany, and in 2017 a modern extension was added.It all began with synthetic surfaces – today the Polytan range includes high-speed tracks, all-weather courts, tennis, handball and shock-absorbent surfaces as well as artificial grass systems for football, hockey, rugby and multifunctional playing fields.
