Customer Success Stories - Case Studies

An injection molding manufacturer headquartered in Massachusetts produces custom parts for the lead battery, automotive and consumer markets. Years before, the company invested in laminated anti-fatigue matting throughout their facility to support the health and safety of their team. They chose various sizes of workstation mats placed at and around the different machines. Over time it became increasingly clear that the mats weren’t holding up to the high demand, high humidity conditions.

A US manufacturer of helicopters in Texas had a machining center with two challenges.  Their first challenge was to raise their employees to the proper height for easier, safer access to change out parts necessary for the manufacturer’s operations.  The second challenge was regarding hoses, wires, and pipes.  Not only did they need protection, but the employees needed protection from them. 

A Japanese auto manufacturer in Indiana, known for their prestigious vehicles and a long-standing Wearwell customer, had been using gray Diamond-Plate anti-fatigue mats on their main assembly line. They were experiencing issues, though not with the product or performance. In fact, they continue to purchase the product for other areas to this day. The customer realized that the assembly line had a unique set of challenges.

Proper fitting is a challenge. One company had been purchasing workstation mats in different sizes then taping them together to create the shapes needed to surround their machinery. This improvisation caused the mats to buckle at the seams and tear the mat’s surface away from the sponge. Not only were the mats themselves creating trip hazards, but the loose tape did too. Find out what they did to solve this issue.

A facility in the UK conducted an internal review, which revealed a high incidence of discomfort-related complaints.  The management team identified the primary cause – prolonged standing on cold, hard concrete. Recognizing the importance of a safer, healthier environment, the company decided to invest in anti-fatigue matting to mitigate their employees’ pain and discomfort.
