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.
