Acushnet plays safe with Cobamat
November 3rd 2008 Acushnet Europe has recently installed a substantial quantity of Cobamat Inter safety matting from COBA in its UK manufacturing and warehousing facility in St Ives, Cambridgeshire.
One of the largest manufacturers of golf equipment in the world, Acushnet is synonymous with brands including Titleist, FootJoy and Cobra employing some 400 people in the UK alone.
Cobamat Inter is one of many industrial safety matting products manufactured by COBA Europe. Manufactured from flexible interwoven PVC extrusions, Cobamat Inter not only provides increased comfort underfoot, but its cross grip 30mm x 10mm open holed design gives effective slip resistance too.
This latest Cobamat installation at Acushnet has predominantly been used in the assembly area for golf clubs, with additional matting also used in the warehouse. Any swarf is captured in the open holes of the mat to prevent slipping on dry dust and debris.
Most of the workstations have opted for Cobamat with bright yellow bevelled edging (factory-fitted) along three sides for increased safety awareness and to minimize trip hazards. The non-edged side allows for the matting to be placed flush against the manufacturing equipment.
Cobamat is available in Light, Standard, Inter and Heavy configurations in black, blue, green and red with optional bevelled edging. Six standard sizes with custom sizes also available on special request.
