Basketball WA is pleased to announce a new commercial partnership with Gerflor – a world leader in indoor sports flooring since 1947. The partnership will see Gerflor supporting Basketball in WesternAustralia for the next four years.

Gerflor’s products can be seen throughout Bendat Basketball Centre’s recent renovations with new court surfaces and a fresh modern foyer aesthetic.

Basketball WA’s Chief Executive Fabian Ross said partnering with Gerflor was a great opportunity to be aligned with industry leaders who already form part of the basketball ecosystem.

“This partnership reflects our commitment to planning for the future and leading the game’s growth in line with our strategic plan.”

“Our alignment with Gerflor will be invaluable as we work towards our Statewide Facilities Plan and Facilities Design Guide in the pursuit of sustainable infrastructure projects and more courts, so that everyone who wants to play the game can.”

Gerflor offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios of indoor sports surfaces available and has provided complete solutions trusted by international sports federations and institutions around the world. This unrivalled expertise has earned Gerflor a place on the world’s biggest stages, supplying flooring for the Olympic Games since Montreal in 1976.

Gerflor National Sports Manager, Wayne Jarred, said aligning with Basketball WA reflected Gerflor’s company commitment to providing spaces where customers feel safe and comfortable to live, work and play.

“Basketball is the fastest-growing sport in Australia, and we are proud to work together with Basketball Western Australia to achieve their purpose to grow and develop the game of basketball across the state,” Jarred said.

“At Gerflor, we are passionate about supporting local communities by creating environments that offer unmatched performance, safety and reliability for athletes at every level and inspiring the next generation of sporting excellence.”
