What a year!
As we dive head first into an exciting 2024, we couldn’t help but look back at all the amazing moments we got to share with our partners, customers and team in the year gone by. Here are some of our proudest and most memorable moments in 2023.
Last year, the company underwent a total rebranding, transforming into CapillaryFlow from Capillary Concrete, ushering in a new era for our company. This new name reflects the unique properties of our patented Capillary Material, which serves as the foundation for all our solutions.
Capillary Material, a patented and engineered polymer-based cement, is the only building material that can move water both up and down to precisely regulate the moisture content of any adjacent material, such as sand or soil. It plays a crucial role in various CapillaryFlow solutions, including Capillary Bunkers, Capillary Hydroponics, and Capillary Geothermal.
Ask any member of the CapillaryFlow team what the highlight of their year was, and the response will most certainly be: 'The Ryder Cup!'
Witnessing the world’s golfing top players navigate bunkers we helped construct (with the invaluable support of Golf Course Superintendent Lara Arias and Director of Agronomy Alejandro Reyes) at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome, Italy, was an amazing experience. Meeting fellow friends and industry colleagues at the tournament added to the richness of this memorable occasion that we will cherish for a long time.
In 2023, the Breakers Rees Jones® Course at Breakers West Country Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, underwent a grand reopening after renowned golf architect Rees Jones, after whom the golf club is named, completely redesigned it. We had the opportunity to line all bunkers with our Capillary Bunker Liner Protection system.
Ayla Golf Club in Aqaba, Jordan, underwent an exciting overhaul, introducing new CapillaryFlow bunkers as part of its endeavor to become the premier destination for golf in the country. As the first installation in Jordan, CapillaryFlow is looking forward to become the first choice for bunker protection system for golf clubs in Jordan.
We take immense pride in being part of two greenfield projects: Panther National and Erbil Hills. Constructing new courses is a remarkable feat — one that the teams should be immensely proud of. Kudos!
During the year we had the pleasure of welcoming new team members who were super excited to be part of our accelerated growth journey. It’s great to see how quickly they learned the ropes and have become an integral part of the team. Learn more here!
At CapillaryFlow, innovation is at the core of what we do is woven into the fabric of our operations. Our motto has always been to provide the best products in the industry, as they stand the test of time. This commitment drives us to consistently strive for innovation. With a rapidly growing number of installations, we view customer feedback as an invaluable resource, transforming it into actionable insights for continuous product improvements.
In 2023, we made these strategic updates across platforms to further enhance our solutions:
Capillary Edge: We revamped the Capillary Edge model, to better align with bunkers visually and be easier to install, as well.
FlowTrack: We developed FlowTrack, our proprietary IoT moisture control system, providing customers with precise control for optimal moisture management.
Capillary Wash Box playability optimization: Exploring the capabilities of the Wash Box revealed to us new ways to alter sand playability. This insight now guides our recommendations for bunker sand depths.
Capillary Hydroponic System: Significant upgrades were made to the Capillary Hydroponic System, ensuring more efficient water usage through optimized irrigation practices.
Equestrian solutions: Capillary Equestrian's irrigation and drainage system underwent a significant update. By pushing oxygen into the footing sand, we've successfully mitigated the risk of the black layer, resulting in a safer and more resilient high-performing surface.
Growth of in-house production fleet: To be able to handle the vast demand for our products and solutions, we have expanded our fleet of trucks and mobile plants. Meet Gertrud, our latest addition!
In June, CapillaryFlow was happy to announce an improved structural and drainage performance guarantee. Extending it from the already industry-leading 10 years to 15 years is a testament to our confidence that we have the best product in the market for controlling moisture and playability in golf course bunkers. The 15-year performance guarantee applies to new CapillaryFlow installations. For existing installations, retrofitting the Capillary Wash Box will extend the existing guarantee by an additional five years. We’d like to remind you that this performance guarantee is unique within the industry as it does not diminish over time, unlike that of our competitors.
We are immensely proud to have achieved all of the above and much more in just a year. We can’t wait to witness continued growth and excellence with our partners and customers in 2024. Upwards and onwards!
