also play a significant role in durability, UV resistance and dirt-barrier performance. Matco offers a comprehensive choice of entrance matting, enhanced further by its association with COBA which has an extensive range in its own right; 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. Whilst Trio Scraper ribs are wider than those of Trio Brush, the function of the mat is in no way different from each other. It is purely an optical difference. Not only are these entrance mats attractive, but their unique design ensures that the dirt remains trapped 16 within the mat and prevents it from being walked into the building. This aids with maintaining a clean building and will have a substantial 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. In terms of service, Matco is renowned for “going that extra mile” to please and satisfy the needs of clients. The company holds stock, which means clients do not have to wait unnecessarily for their orders, and can efficiently work with customers throughout South Africa with representation in Durban, Cape Town, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. “We generally work on a 14 working day lead time depending on the size of job,” explains Nicole. That can be flexible. “There have been many times when a client has phoned in a panic, requiring a mat that was forgotten for an official opening that is due to take place on the following day!” Where customised mats are required, lead time is a little longer to accommodate the bespoke manufacturing process. “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.” For further information, please contact: Matco Tel: [phone] Email: [email protected] Web: www.matco.co.za Company Watch
