Southwest Greens International, a division of Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company and one of the leading synthetic turf companies in North America, announced today the launch of Bolt™, its newest fiber innovation which is highlighted by a cutting-edge shape designed for increased performance and durability.

“Consistent with Southwest Green’s deep dedication to utilizing only the best quality products in our clients installations, we are pleased to announce that Shaw's newest sports performance Bolt fiber will be placed into Southwest Greens'  fringe and landscape grass product line,” said Kyle Ehman, President of Southwest Greens International, LLC.

Engineered to handle the demands of a high-traffic sports surface, Bolt features a patent-pending, lightning bolt-shaped fiber which creates a stronger vertical axis that causes the fibers to stand upright for greater resiliency and increased durability.  In fact, Bolt exceeds the most stringent industry standard for simulated wear twice over.  Additionally, Bolt’s unique cross section features curved angles reflecting light for lower luster and a more natural looking lawn.

Mr. Ehman continues, “The Bolt fiber is engineered from higher grade performance yarns used often in the sports market.  If it can withstand the rigors of sports fields, we can assure our customers that they are getting the most durable and aesthetically-pleasing landscape grass in the industry.”

The Bolt product line will feature a variety of ounce weights and will be the flagship turf over the next few years.  Installations earlier this year in Florida were met with rave customer reviews.

Jim Walton, President Southwest Greens Florida said,  "Southwest Greens of Florida is very pleased with the new 'Bolt' turf product manufactured by Shaw.  We recently installed it in a backyard where the customer came back a week later to order an additional 1200 sq. ft. to be installed in the yard.  The appearance and performance are terrific.”
