BonaŽ US Announces Partnership with the NBA
AURORA, Colo., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Bona US, the world leader in hardwood floor care and maintenance since 1919, announced today that it will be an Official Hardwood Floor Care Partner of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Many NBA teams are already playing on floors finished with Bona including the New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets. An industry leader for more than 90 years, Bona Hardwood Floor Finish and Paint are durable, long-lasting and won't disseminate harmful fumes.
"We are happy with the Bona products on our new practice court and our game court at Air Canada Centre the home of the Toronto Raptors," said Bob Hunter, executive vice president of venues and entertainment, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. "We have to know that our floors can stand up to the wear and tear of our busy facility and still provide a great surface for our players and Bona was a good choice. The fact that Bona is not only durable but also environmentally friendly is a big bonus. The Bona team has also been very responsive to our needs -- we consider them one of our valued Partners."
Bona provides the most complete system of sport products that the industry has to offer including waterborne and oil modified finishes, machines, abrasives adhesives and a fast, effective maintenance system.
"Bona products have been used in NBA and top collegiate gyms for years," said John Rauvola, managing director, Bona US. "We are very excited to now be formally recognized as an Official Hardwood Floor Care Partner of the NBA."
The technology used in the products for NBA floors is also used in Bona's residential finishes. Proven to be the most durable and beautiful finishes in the industry, Bona waterborne finishes are GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality by the third party, GREENGUARD Environmental Institute. GREENGUARD is a non-profit, third party organization that tests indoor products for their environmental impact in an effort to improve the air quality consumers breathe.
