Vynagrip factory floor mat creates safer manufacturing workplace | Plastex

Vynagrip helps keep factory workers safe


Global tool manufacturer Sandvik Coromant was in need of a factory floor mat that could contour to uneven surfaces, disperse production waste and help boost worker productivity.

The problem

Global tool manufacturer Sandvik Coromant needed to extend its production facility as part of an ongoing expansion, but because the new space was being added to the existing building it left the flooring rough and uneven. To create a safe, slip-resistant environment for employees, the factory needed a factory floor mat that would contour to the uneven sub-surface and sit flush against machinery.

The checklist

  • Sits flush against irregularly shaped machinery and work benches
  • Quickly drains and dissipates production waste
  • Easy to handle and roll up for quick cleaning
  • Provides a hardwearing and durable surface
  • Delivers comfort underfoot

The solution

The expansion's rough flooring meant Sandvik Coromant needed a slip-resistant mat that would contour to the uneven surface. We recommended our best-selling workplace matting Vynagrip, which can be quickly cut to fit on site, and is designed to be loose laid for seamless installation. The open grid delivers superior drainage, while the non-porous construction resists oils, acids and chemicals.

Vynagrip also helps Sandvik Coromant prioritise worker safety: the two-layer construction provides anti-fatigue properties proven to help boost productivity, while the yellow edging means the factory can delineate safe walkways around the heavy machinery.

“This matting has really helped to solve some of the issues we faced following our expansion. The fact that it contours over thresholds and over rough sub-flooring is very satisfying. It’s easy to roll up and move for cleaning and removal of waste. The yellow strips are visually effective at marking out safe walkways, and our staff find it comfortable to stand on for long periods.”
