S-Tec Orbion II: High-Performance Hockey Meets Sustainable Innovation

Lano Sports’ S-Tec Orbion II is a next-generation artificial turf system engineered to meet the FIH’s vision: delivering elite-level hockey performance on a dry, non-irrigated pitch. Developed through advanced material science and rigorous testing, this system offers dual functionality—excelling in both dry and irrigated conditions—making it a versatile solution for clubs and federations worldwide.

At the core of S-Tec Orbion II lies S-Tec yarn technology, designed for optimal ball roll, stick response, and player-surface interaction. The system replicates the speed, consistency, and comfort of traditional wet pitches—without the environmental cost. “Creating a surface that mimics wet pitch dynamics while remaining dry is a complex challenge,” explains Chris Vandenborre, Senior Product Development Manager. “But Orbion II meets the mark, both for irrigated and dry hockey.

S-Tec Orbion II is FIH-certified for Global, National, and Dry Non-Irrigated categories—ensuring compliance with international standards while supporting clubs’ sustainability goals. The system reduces water usage by up to 70%, significantly lowering operational costs and environmental impact.

Early adopters are already seeing the benefits. The players are thrilled. The pitch delivers elite performance with a fraction of the water. “Even dry, the playability is exceptional,” says THC Indiana.

With S-Tec Orbion II, Lano Sports sets a new benchmark in hockey turf innovation—where performance, durability, and sustainability converge.
