/24-7PressRelease/ - CAMBRIDGE, MD, May 03, 2008 - Cambridge International, Inc., an industry leader in metal product fabricator including drag mats, conveyor belting and wire cloth, continues to develop its long-standing commitment to the community by donating 27 drag mats to local schools and parks & recreation organizations.
Cambridge Drag Mats are metal mats that are pulled by hand or machinery and offers dramatic improvements in the maintenance and grooming of baseball fields, golf courses and many other sports turf applications.
Donations were made to Dorchester County Parks & Recreation, North and South Dorchester High Schools, Talbot County Parks & Recreation, Talbot County Schools, and Caroline County Little League.
Director of Turf Mat Technology for Cambridge International, Mike Truitt, explains the benefits of Cambridge Drag Mats and the affect they will have on the sports fields, "Drag Mats manufactured by Cambridge International feature heavier 11 gauge rods which increase mat strength and resist distortion. Our unique clinched edges eliminate snagging usually experienced with other edge treatments. The organizations that received the new mats will see a dramatic improvement in the quality of their fields with regular use."
The coaches are looking forward to using the new drag mats on the baseball and soccer fields to improve the quality of play for the kids. It is especially important for the organizations to receive the donation because funding is not always available for this type of equipment purchase. Terri Wright, Athletic Director at North Dorchester High School explains, "With our limited athletic budget it is often too difficult to purchase items for field maintenance."
Cambridge International is proud to be a part of the local community by employing multiple generations of families, fund raising for local non-profit organizations and continuing to grow by developing innovative new products.
