Get to know Sport Tech...


Eric Pugliese and Rob Tranchida formed Sport-Tech Construction in 2011, combining Eric’s skills in the field with Rob’s business operations experience. Eric learned the court and field construction business from his father, Angelo, who today serves as the company’s sales executive after 30 years of building quality tennis courts and athletic fields across the tri-state area. Rob grew up in his father’s deli business, where he learned accounting and general business operations.

Eric, who serves as President, and Rob, Secretary/Treasurer, have grown the business from a few trucks with five employees being run from a kitchen counter to a real office space with 25 employees and a fleet of trucks. In February 2018, they added Sport-Tech Acrylics, forming a partnership with Tennis Court Acrylics Specialist Michael Edgerton, a Certified Tennis Court Builder.

They’ve completed projects for the US Open located in Queens, NY, Fordham University, Iona, Marist, Sarah Lawrence, Manhattan, and SUNY Purchase colleges among others, and private schools such as Rye Country Day School in Rye, N.Y., and the Hackley School in Tarrytown, N.Y.

“We have the talent to be a bigger business, but we prefer to be a quality business,” Eric says.

Sport-Tech Construction & Acrylics are members of the American Sports Builders Association, which for 50 years has set industry standards for the design, construction and maintenance of athletic facilities across the country. Whether it’s all-weather asphalt courts like those used at the U.S. Open, or a synthetic turf athletic field or running track, Sport- Tech will deliver your finished product with a level of skill, attention to detail and concern for your budget that will leave you satisfied and proud.
