Our Divisions
The Pitchmark Group comprises of 3 divisions – Pitchmark, Turfix and Total Amenity Supplies. Originally founded as Pitchmark in 2010, the company was solely a manufacturer of line marking paint and equipment with a focus on export.
​
By 2019, Turfix was launched as a supplier of premium quality products to the professional sports turf sector, giving Pitchmark a sales arm within the UK alongside other leading manufacturers like ICL, Harrod Sport and Tildenet Sport. A Services division in Turfix was added later in 2019 to assist grounds teams with GPS line marking.
​
Finally, Total Amenity Supplies was formed in 2020, supplying a range of consumables including line marking products, fertilisers and weed killers through both retail ecommerce and trade platforms.
