06/24/09 - The United States Professional Tennis Association announced the start of a three-year partnership with Aer-Flo, Inc., making Aer-Flo the official tennis windscreen of the USPTA.

Aer-Flo, located in Bradenton, Fla., manufactures premium-quality tennis windscreens. Its TUFFY® Windscreen is made with the same virtually puncture-proof Vipol™ Matrix material originally used in sideline bench tarps Aer-Flo supplies to major college and NFL teams. Aer-Flo is the only manufacturer that finishes its windscreen ends and corners by lock stitching, eliminating the problem of unraveling inherent in chain stitching. The company developed a proprietary screen-painting process that produces vivid multicolor imprinting on its windscreens. Resulting images are strikingly vivid, sharper than spray painting, and much more durable than digital imprinting.

Chris Allen, Aer-Flo’s tennis division manager, cited the widespread acceptance of the product. “Tuffy Windscreen is already being used by some of the country’s most prestigious tennis clubs and resorts,” he said. “I get nothing but positive feedback about its professional appearance and quality finishing. We are most pleased that the best tennis equipment dealers are now handling our windscreen products.”

“We are very pleased about the partnership with Aer-Flo,” said USPTA CEO Tim Heckler. “We know that Aer-Flo produces a superior product and we are proud to have them as our official windscreen.”

Founded in 1927, USPTA strives to raise the standards of the tennis profession while promoting greater awareness of the sport. USPTA offers more than 60 professional benefits to its more than 15,000 members worldwide, including certification and professional development. With more than 300 days of educational opportunities throughout the year, USPTA offers the most comprehensive continuing education program in the tennis industry.
