Camatic just recently had the honour of showcasing its new Axiom seat at one of the world’s excellent racing venues, in shape for both nobility as well as the typical punter, Irish racing’s new €80m flagship facility at The Curragh racecourse.
The difficulty was clear. A grand plan to remake Ireland’s historic house of thoroughbred equine racing, The Curragh, into one of the world’s excellent racing venues, in shape for both nobility as well as the typical punter. This was the vision of the Aga Khan, racing nobility as well as one of the world’s richest philanthropists, as well as Camatic seating would be vital to the project.
With deep connections to Ireland’s spiritual house of racing, the Aga Khan advised racing authorities as well as the government to undertake a redevelopment Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Catar that would make the ageing Curragh facilities:
The most positive response to the needs of contemporary racing.

Central to the plan was a grandstand with two striking new features: a stunning 7,000-square metre cantilevered roof, as well as arena seating providing racegoers thrillingly close, unobstructed as well as comfortable vantage to action on the turf where horses have raced for time immemorial. This is where Camatic came in. The business expressed serious rate of interest at a extremely early stage of the job as well as established connections by travelling to Ireland to showcase its new Axiom seating system as well as provide assurances on shipment as well as installation.
Plans required maintenance-free stadium seating with a contemporary aesthetic as well as compact style yet no compromises on VIP comfort. While the sweeping grandstand roof offers some security for the terraces, seating had to be both water resistant as well as with excellent UV resistance. Camatic’s padded version of the Axiom, upholstered in light grey, marine-grade vinyl, fitted the expense perfectly.
Work on The Curragh redevelopment began in 2017 as well as by January 2019 the Camatic team was on site, dealing Camiseta Brighton & Hove Albion FC with difficulties posed by the Irish winter, roofing work as well as continuous race meetings. By the complying with month, Camatic had installed almost 1,400 seats in lots of time for the grand re-opening in may when the Age Khan officially welcomed punters to the grandstand that brings his name as well as Camatic’s top-quality Axiom model.

Off at the races
An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar officially opened The Curragh’s spectacular facilities back in May. The centrepiece of the redeveloped racecourse is the Aga Khan Stand, which can cater for as much as 6,000 people over four levels.
