We’ve told you the origins of the 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿 name, now let’s look at our logo! Feldspar was born from a vision to blend advanced technology with the natural world, inspired by the simplicity of a broken feldspar mineral. This modern symbol represents our core values - 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, and 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. With a foundation in advanced material science, #Feldspar is leading the way in smart flooring, sports tracking software, and innovative sports surfacing solutions.

So, why the name, 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿? 🤔 Let us explain! ⬇️ The name “Feldspar”, reflects a harmonious blend of modern technology and natural inspiration. Derived from the earth mineral feldspar, a cornerstone of our planet's composition, the brand name signifies a seamless evolution from traditional cinder tracks to cutting-edge digital solutions. Inspired by the mineral that constitutes a significant portion of the earth's crust and hard-wearing materials, Feldspar is known for their exceptional strength and lightweight properties. Feldspar embodies a commitment to creating running experiences that are both grounded in the natural world and driven by technological advancement. And now you know! 🙂 #sports #sportsbiz #sportsnews #reinventathletics #feldspar
