MATCO: A BRAND OF
COBA INTERNATIONAL
Matco is one of South Africa’s leading commercial entrance matting manufacturers and suppliers and a
long-established name that has been associated with many prestigious architectural projects.
M
atco recently entered an exciting
new phase as it became part of the
globally successful COBA International group. Like Matco, COBA has a long
and exemplary pedigree in the matting
business, with state-of-the-art manufacturing
and distribution facilities in Europe and Cape
Town. While Matco now has access to
exceptional resources, which will only
enhance its product offering, the company
remains unchanged with MD, Nicole Herron,
still at the helm.
Matco supplies entrance matting for
installation in a variety of projects across
South Africa. From small businesses,
schools and restaurants, to hotels, convention centres, airport terminals, shopping
centres and commercial office developments. Sandton, South Africa’s commercial
hub, features many buildings with
Matco installations.
Practical Aesthetics
Entrance matting has a reputation for being
one of the final elements of building completion, and it can be something that gets
taken for granted. It is a cliché to say, ‘first
impressions really do count’ but for any
commercial or public building, those first
impressions can be imperative to business
success. It is not just a matter of aesthetics;
30
entrance matting should also be fit-forpurpose. This includes being suitably durable
to cope with footfall, of sufficient length to
wipe/scrape moisture and debris from
footwear, whilst still accessible for
wheeled apparatus.
Wide Range
Matco offers a comprehensive choice of
entrance matting, enhanced further by
COBA’s extensive range. Premier interlocking PVC / carpet entrance tiles being an
example. Matco’s bestselling entrance mats
for interior use include Trio Scraper and Trio
Brush, both suitable for high footfall areas.
Both Trio Scraper and Trio Brush are
manufactured from needlepunch coarse
fibre polypropylene and feature polyamide
brushing and drying strips. Not only are
these entrance mats attractive, but their
design ensures that the dirt remains trapped
within the mat and prevents it from being
walked into the building. This aids with
maintaining a clean building and saving on
cleaning costs. Super Scraper is the outdoor
version of Trio Scraper. The difference is that
it features perforations to allow for water
drainage and has the function of scraping
and collecting dirt.
“I describe Matco as a solutions-based
company,” says Nicole. “We have a top
quality range of products and we strive to
find appropriate entrance matting solutions
for our clients through highly effective,
proactive sales support, swift lead times and
competitive pricing.”
