The First IAAF Certified Track in history

Trackmaster was founded in the United Kingdom (UK) by Managing Director Matthew Cohen in 1990. Matthew had been in the trade since the mid-eighties working as a sub–contractor surveying and line marking for various UK companies, developing a love for geomatics and athletics tracks.

Initially, the company was involved with all kinds of court marking and even line striping on school playgrounds, synthetic surfacing of acrylic tennis courts, as well as industrial flooring.

However, as time went on Trackmaster started to become more and more involved with surveying and line marking of all weathered 400m athletics tracks.

With superior quality and high precision work, Trackmaster started to be awarded contracts further and further abroad, taking on projects throughout Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific and the Americas.

In 1998, as the company was almost exclusively carrying out track marking contracts outside of the UK, it relocated to Thailand and established the new Head Office for Trackmaster International.

The move to Thailand was a strategic and pivotal milestone in the company's history as with its excellent geographical location, it became possible to get to almost all major cities anywhere in the world within one day. 

In 1999 when the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) introduced the worldwide Line Marking and Certification Scheme, Trackmaster was proud to successfully survey and mark out the very first athletics track to be awarded with this new certificate. It  was the Hunter Region Athletic Facility, a brand new 9-lane track in New South Wales, Australia.

Matthew and his team now easily service all regions and countries including the Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, The Americas and the Caribbean. As such, since its inception in 1990, Trackmaster have delivered professional services to an incredible 80 different countries around the world and established a second office in the United Kingdom.
