HOUSTON, Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hellas, the nation's leading sports services company is proud to once again be the choice partner for and provider of state-of-the-art turf solutions for the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. This six-year partnership signifies Hellas' commitment to delivering top-quality playing surfaces that enhance athletic performance and elevate the game-day experience for athletes.

Hellas has established a sterling reputation in the sports industry, known for its innovative products and cutting-edge technologies. With a focus on sustainability, durability, and player safety, Hellas turf systems have become the preferred choice of renowned sports teams and facilities worldwide.

"Hellas is honored to partner with the Houston Texans as the team's Preferred Turf Provider," said Reed J. Seaton, President, and CEO of Hellas. "Our commitment to quality and innovation aligns perfectly with the Texans' goals. We are excited to contribute to the team's success by delivering a world-class playing surface that meets the highest standards of performance and safety."

As the exclusive turf partner for the Houston Texans, Hellas installed its premium Matrix Helix^® Turf system at NRG Stadium prior to the Texans' first pre-season game. This same system can also be found at the Texans' Houston Methodist Training Center. Matrix Helix turf is engineered to replicate the feel and performance of natural grass while offering unmatched durability and consistency. Designed with cutting-edge fiber technology, the Matrix Helix turf systems provide excellent traction, optimal footing, and superior shock absorption, reducing the risk of injuries and ensuring peak performance for players.

"We are proud to continue our multi-year partnership with Hellas," said Jerry Angel, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at the Houston Texans. "We are looking forward to an exciting 2023 season of Texans football on Hellas' playing surface."

Owned by Harris County, NRG Stadium, like many NFL stadiums, is used year-round for a variety of events, making it a popular destination for Houstonians and tourists from around the world. One of the largest events hosted at NRG is the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, a three-week event that includes nightly professional rodeo and concert events held inside NRG Stadium. In the spring of 2023, NRG was also home to the NCAA Men's Final Four.

Being a multi-use stadium makes it necessary to install new turf each football season. As part of their ongoing partnership with the Houston Texans and Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation (HCSCC), Hellas will transport and install the turf used at NRG during the 2022-2023 season at a Houston-area youth facility.
