Athletica Sport Systems Makes Its Entry into Europe with New Finland Office to Serve Local Sports Markets

Athletica Sport Systems Expands to Europe

Athletica Sport Systems Inc., a leading manufacturer and installer of high-performance dasher board systems, has announced its expansion into the European market by opening a new office in Finland. This move marks a significant milestone for the company as it aims to build a stronger local presence to better serve the demands of European sports markets.

Local Commitment to Excellence

The newly established Finnish office will be responsible for providing tailored service offerings, sales, installation, and aftermarket maintenance of Athletica's renowned products. This includes LED dasher boards, scoreboards, and advanced timing systems. The strategic decision to expand into Finland reflects Athletica's commitment to serving a nation with a rich hockey heritage while also supporting the development of multi-sport arenas.

Leading the European operations is Tomi Matilainen, a professional with extensive experience in the arena sector and LED technology. Tomi's leadership is expected to enhance the company’s ability to tackle the needs of professional leagues and community facilities alike, thereby fostering strong relationships across the region.

Meeting Modern Demands

Athletica's expansion aligns with the increasing growth of professional sports leagues in Europe and their ongoing desire to reach new audiences. The company recognizes that as league expansions continue, the demand for innovative and immersive experiences in arena design becomes paramount. The Finland office aims to roll out new products and implement operational efficiencies designed to meet these evolving demands.

Athletica has a strong track record, having supplied dasher boards and support for high-profile events, including the NHL, AHL, IIHF World Championships, and Olympic Games. One of their standout offerings is the Crystaplex® 6A Series dasher boards, known for their exceptional flexibility, enhanced safety features, quick installation, and unmatched durability, setting a benchmark for international standards in sports infrastructure.

A New Chapter in Europe

Andrew McRae, CEO of Athletica, expressed enthusiasm for this latest chapter in the company’s journey: "Europe's passionate commitment to hockey and multi-sport facilities creates a thrilling opportunity for us. Just as we have supported elite leagues in North America with innovative, safety-centric solutions, we are now prepared to extend that same level of commitment to venues in Europe. Our local office will facilitate quicker responses and stronger collaborations with the industry, resulting in improved performance and heightened fan experiences."

The comprehensive product lineup from Athletica consists of much more than just dasher board systems; it includes video scoreboards, scoring systems, custom LED technologies, seating solutions, and various arena accessories. With a continued focus on prioritizing athlete safety and enhancing spectator experiences, the company is steadfast in its commitment to innovation and addressing the dynamics of modern sports facilities.
