In need of a durable platform to play basketball, and enjoy well-earned time off, the U.S. Marine Corps looked no further than a quality, U.S.-made SnapSports® system.

To complete the Marine’s request, parent company, SnapLock, Industries, has enlisted help of Operation Give to donate a DuraSlam® backboard and hoop system to provide a total recreation package. In doing so, SnapLock wishes to say a big “thank you” to all of the Marine men and woman that work so hard to protect our country. For over thirty years SnapLock Industries, Inc. has supplied quality flooring systems, all made start-to-finish in their own Utah based factories. The family owned SnapLock Industries has become the choice of demanding customers worldwide including the hardworking U.S. Marine Corps.

The DuraSlam® basketball system is on a container shipping to Iraq this week and will be a welcomed compliment to the Marines’ custom basketball court. No doubt there will be plenty of smooth moves, dramatic dribbling and slam dunks on the SnapSports® custom-painted basketball court. The DuraSlam® backboard will easily stand up to the day-to-day punishment the Marines dish out and can be easily adjusted to allow service members of any height to have fun and score big.

SnapLock CEO, Jorgen Moller says “This is not about us donating the hoop system and supplying athletic surfacing, but more about SnapSorts, Inc. giving something to the troops in appreciation for all they are doing for us.” Being a family owned business and very proud of being “made in the USA” SnapLock® fully supports the efforts of our troops and will do anything to keep them fit, strong and happy.

Salt Lake City based SnapLock Industries, leading manufacturer of modular flooring worldwide, was commissioned to create the record breaking 87,000 square foot KFC logo.
“Once we were charged with this project and it was determined that Utah was going to be the preferred site, we found it imperative to partner with a local company. SnapLock® proved to be more than a partner and every day went above and beyond our expectations,” said Jay Silva of Synergy Events.

The massive Colonel Sanders logo consists of SnapLock® 1-foot square floor tiles that were laid out in the Area 51 desert near Rachel Nevada the ‘UFO Capitol of the World’. The gargantuan logo, which is referred to as the ‘Face from Space’ by the project team, is so large it that would take 265 Statues of Liberty to fill it. The logo took 24 days, working around-the-clock, to manufacture and ultimately produce. It then took six days on site to construct the logo, during which time the logo design pieces were kept hidden and under cover from identified and unidentified flying objects.

“This was very exciting for us. We have done a lot of special projects in the past, but never one this size and certainly not one that would be visible from outer space. The team at SnapLock did a great job, I think the logo looks great,” said Jorgen Moller, CEO of Snap Lock Industries.

The image was created by pixelating five different SnapLock tile colors over 87,000 square feet. There were no paints or decals used in creating the image. The process required each tile having a specific location or the entire image could be compromised. ” This project really shows the versatility of the Snap Lock product and the level of expertise the SnapLock team has. There were no tools used during the assembly. Installation was literally a Snap!” said Moller. The multi-patented SnapLock plastic floor modules simply snap together and lock into place, no tools are required installation.
