COBA is today one of the largest, most established and most experienced names in the floor matting industry.
We’re excited to unveil our newly refreshed branding! Moving forward, we’ll be known simply as COBA. A change that comes following the demerger from COBA Plastics Group and is aimed to support continued growth for our clients and stakeholders.
Rest assured, whilst our name may have evolved, our commitment to providing high-end products and unparalleled support remains. Ever since pioneering safety matting in the UK in 1979, COBA has led the industry with innovative products and unmatched expertise. The inception of COBAmat® to wooden duck-boarding at the time, and many more innovations have occurred since, including the introduction of Orthomat® in 1993, and Social Distancing Mats in 2020 – all to improve safety and comfort for those that stand at work.
The remarkable growth of our business has demanded expansion, and we now operate from five different facilities spanning from the UK, Germany, Slovakia and South Africa. Supported also by sales representatives in France, Poland, Spain, Portugal and Italy. With a combined storage space of 44,000 ft, we are poised to best serve our customers, and continue our legacy of excellence in workplace safety. And speaking of customers, COBA continues to lead the way in providing extensive backing through product training and marketing support. Our dedicated team of experts conduct joint site visits, offering specialised knowledge to the unique requirements of the end user. Also, our PIM system launched in 2021, making accessing product information a breeze.
Right Mat, First Time ™ is our motto, and reflects our enthusiasm for an effective product selection driving customer satisfaction and reducing wastage. From our years of experience, it pays to get this stage right, especially with so many unique products to choose from. Right Mat, First Time™ is also our commitment to offer the most suitable product for your workplace, not the most expensive.
All those years of experience have also been incorporated into a decision tree, Matbrain™, it does the decision-making for you. By answering a few simple questions, we can narrow down the options to the extent that a choice can be made.
Our vision is to enhance the experience of everyone who traverses our exceptional products. Aiming for new and novel manufactured solutions with a better and more sustainable future in mind. The environmental issues we face in this world are concerning, which is why we regularly reassess our products and processes. So far this includes offset carbon emission, adopting recyclable packaging, and partnering with Sedex for ethical sourcing (in the UK) to name just a few. In fact, one of our most recent additions is the ReGen range of mats made from 100% regenerated material.
