In March, ICP Group appointed Deb Lechner vice president of marketing.

In April, APF Polymer Surfaces introduced updated packaging with color-coded product categories and QR codes connecting users to technical documentation. Also in April, California Sports Surfaces extended its partnership with the Minto US OPEN Pickleball Championships through 2029. CoolTop® became the event’s main championship-court surface for 2025 and beyond.

In May, ICP named Todd Brown vice president of operations for its Roofing & Driveway Sealers business unit. Also in May, APOC® partnered with DSL Coatings to introduce liquid-applied roofing systems in the Netherlands.

In June, California Sports Surfaces’ Rebound Ace® Impact polyurethane flooring system earned FIBA certification for Level 2 indoor competition.

In September, APOC launched TUFF-GRIP™, a synthetic roofing underlayment designed with a high-traction surface and UV resistance.
