Zedland anti-fatigue matting

Zedland ESD is a heavy duty anti-fatigue matting with integral anti-static protection designed to shield both people and sensitive machinery alike.

Zedland ESD forms one of a series of mattings, developed by Plastic Extruders Ltd, to ameliorate standing fatigue for people who have to work on manufacturing or production lines, behind counters, in process control or workrooms.

With an increasing number of enquiries coming from Brazil, Plastex has recently decided to explore the potential of the South American country by joining a trade mission to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro organised by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry. During the trip, Peter O'Sullivan, Plastex's Sales Director, spoke to Richard Tyler, The Daily Telegraph's Enterprise Editor about the company's opening forray into the South American market and it's hopes for the future.

Specially modified Flexigrid matting, manufactured by Plastic Extruders Ltd, is helping to provide an anti-fatigue and hygienic surface for fresh fruit importer and packer Griffin & Brand.

This long established supplier to major supermarkets had a problem with grapes falling onto the floor, being squashed and causing a slip hazard. This was originally solved with wooden duckboards which allowed the grapes to fall through the gaps. When the duckboards needed to be replaced, the company wanted a better alternative which would be more hygienic and easier to move for cleaning.

Crossgrip safety matting has recently been installed on the roofs of two buildings which both serve airports - The Heathrow/Windsor Marriott Hotel at Langley, near Slough, and at Manchester Airport.

At Manchester Airport, Project managers DTZ appointed contractors Weatherproofing Advisors to repair some areas of the roof of office building '4M'. It has been refurbished with Crossgrip matting to provide safe walkways used for maintenance and to provide access to the rooftop services. Here, the matting's deeply etched open grid surface provides permanent high slip resistance even in the worst weather conditions.
