At COBA, we believe every child deserves a safe, fun, and welcoming space to play. That’s why our COBA GmbH branch in Germany (link to German article) recently participated in a community project close to our hearts—enhancing a well-loved local playground by donating one of our most trusted safety solutions: the Ringmat Honeycomb rubber mat.
Play is vital to a child’s development. It’s how they explore, build confidence, and connect with others. But safety is just as important as fun. When we saw an opportunity to make playtime safer for local children, we were quick to step in.
The COBA Ringmat Honeycomb was the perfect fit for this project. Made from durable natural rubber, it’s designed to reduce the risk of slips and trips thanks to its excellent anti-slip properties and clever drainage holes. It’s also gentle underfoot, cushioning small stumbles—because kids should be free to run, jump, and tumble with confidence.
Even better, the honeycomb design allows grass to grow through, helping the mat blend beautifully with the outdoor environment while preventing muddy patches and worn-down grass. This means fewer scraped knees and a much more enjoyable space for families to gather.
The playground transformation has already made a big impact. Parents feel reassured knowing their children are playing on a surface designed with safety in mind. And for the children? It’s all about smiles, laughter, and playtime without worry.
This donation is part of COBA’s broader commitment to creating safer spaces—at work, at play, and in our communities. We’re proud to support local initiatives that promote the well-being and enable safer experiences for all.
“It’s a small gesture with a big impact,” said COBA GmbH Manager, Hasan Otlu. “We’re thrilled to know that our matting is helping to make play safer for local children. Supporting the next generation is something we take seriously.”
A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone involved in making this project a success, especially Christian Elfroth and Hasan Otlu. Thank you for your big hearts, your care for the community, and for championing initiatives that truly align with the spirit of COBA.
We are more than just a business—we’re a family that cares.
We look forward to continuing our efforts to support community spaces and promote safe, active lifestyles for children across Europe and beyond.
