Our Story
Who we are and what we do
We are golf course superintendents and greenkeepers. We understand the challenges and what it takes to maintain a great golf course. Everything we have developed gets tested on the golf course, in real-life situations, over and over again, and we work with some of the most advanced laboratories in the world to develop the best and most effective solutions to everyday challenges.
Capillary Bunkers were first installed in 2010 in Scandinavia in a very tough climate with severe winter ground freezing conditions. The product was invented and developed by Founder Martin Sternberg, CGCS, as a means of finally resolving all bunker problems in even the most severe golf course locations. Today, thousands of bunkers have been built or renovated with Capillary Bunkers all across the world, from Australia, Japan, Africa to the USA and Europe. Capillary Bunkers is available throughout the world, in every major golf market through local distributors. Capillary Bunkers is an international company and is owned in part by Martin Sternberg, among others. The Board of Directors is made up of some very experienced turf professionals, including Stig Persson, former Chairman of the Swedish Greenkeepers Association, FEGGA (European Greenkeepers Assoc.); and Martin Sternberg, CGCS. We also are fortunate to have a very competent administrative team in offices in Celebration, Florida.
