THE STORY BEHIND THE BRAND.
Since its modern-day invention by Major Walter Wingfield in 1873, tennis has become one of the most popular sports
in the world----its players, rules and equipment changing with the times.
HAR-TRU surfaces® are part of that history. During the 1950s, an engineer named Robert LEE began applying
his expertise in building materials to the needs of American tennis. The result was a product that standardized
and improved clay courts throughout the United States.
Originally, the HAR-TRU brand used a natural green stone mined in Pennsylvania. When LEE found a second source
in Virginia, it encouraged him to start his own surfacing business--just in time for the tennis boom of the 1970s.
By adding products like sweepers, rollers and drag brushes, LEE Tennis quickly became a one-stop shop for
surfacing materials, maintenance equipment, court accessories and court development advice.
When Robert Lee retired in 1997, LEE Tennis was purchased by Luck Stone, a longtime partner and the Virginia-based
supplier of stone materials. Luck Stone then acquired the manufacturing assets of the original HAR-TRU material
provider and, finally, bought the HAR-TRU brand, a surface associated with some of the finest courts in the
world.
HAR-TRU provides solutions for tennis enthusiast of all ages, from players to club managers. It's a court surface
that preserves the excitement of classic competition, while causing fewer injuries. In short, we're in the
business of making tennis more fun for life.
