About Mats Inc.

Sixty Years of Commercial Flooring and Matting Expertise

Mats Inc. has been in the commercial flooring and matting business since August 1964, when founder Howard Wilson set out to build a company that would supply commercial buildings with matting and flooring solutions worth specifying. More than six decades later, that focus still defines how we work.

We've grown into a national B2B supplier serving customers across the United States, throughout Canada, and internationally. Our catalog covers commercial entrance matting, anti-fatigue mats, carpet tiles, vinyl flooring, stair treads, custom logo matting, specialty matting, and the full range of commercial-grade flooring solutions that real working environments require. The customers we serve span virtually every commercial and industrial vertical — energy and oil and gas operations, restaurant and food service groups, corporate office buildings, hospitality and hotel chains, grocery and retail stores, healthcare facilities, schools, government buildings, manufacturing and industrial facilities, entertainment and sports venues including professional sports franchises and national entertainment brands, and residential applications where commercial-grade durability matters.

What hasn't changed across sixty years is the commitment that started Mats Inc. in 1964: matching buyers with the flooring and matting solutions that actually perform in their environments. The products in our catalog earned their place over decades of customer use, and the team behind the catalog brings genuine expertise to every specification decision. We care about commercial flooring because we've watched what works and what doesn't in thousands of real buildings, and we know that getting the specification right at the start saves our customers years of replacement cycles and operational frustration.

Who We Serve

Mats Inc. is built primarily around B2B commercial procurement, with the operational depth that facilities managers, procurement teams, contractors, architects, brand managers, and operations leaders need. Our catalog is built for real working environments — the kinds of spaces where mat performance directly affects safety, productivity, and replacement cycles.

The verticals we serve include:

• Energy, oil and gas, and industrial operations
• Restaurant and food service groups
• Corporate office buildings and commercial real estate
• Hotels, resorts, and hospitality groups
• Grocery, retail, and convenience stores
• Healthcare systems, hospitals, and clinical facilities
• Schools, universities, and educational institutions
• Government buildings and public facilities
• Manufacturing plants and industrial facilities
• Professional sports franchises and athletic venues
• Entertainment, theme park, and national hospitality brands
• Residential applications where commercial-grade durability matters

We're a national supplier with international shipping capability — equally comfortable supporting a single-location project as we are managing multi-location facility programs across hospital systems, retail chains, hotel groups, and corporate portfolios. Whether the application is a Fortune 500 facility program or a homeowner who needs a commercial-grade entrance mat that will actually hold up, the catalog and the team are built for it.

What We Bring to Every Customer Relationship

Genuine Catalog Expertise

Mats Inc. is selective about what enters our catalog and what stays. Products that fail in commercial settings don't survive in our offerings — what's available through us today is the result of sixty years of refinement and the customer feedback that drives it. When we recommend a product, that recommendation comes from real understanding of how the product performs across years of use.

Specification Consulting

Picking the wrong mat or flooring product for a commercial space can mean replacing it within months instead of years, plus the operational costs of dealing with failed installations. Our team helps customers match construction to placement so the products they buy actually last in the environments they're going into. We treat specification as part of the service, not an afterthought.

Comprehensive Customization Capability

Most products in our catalog support custom sizing, color selection, branded logo configuration, fire-rating documentation, and project-specific specifications. For irregular thresholds, recessed wells, multi-location brand consistency programs, and complex procurement requirements, we work directly with our manufacturers to deliver exactly what each project needs.

Multi-Location Program Support

For customers managing flooring and matting programs across multiple buildings, regions, or business lines, we provide the specification consistency, replacement-cycle ordering, account-level relationship management, and logistics coordination that single-purchase transactions simply don't require. We've supported customers running programs across dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of locations.

A Passion for Getting It Right

This is the part that doesn't show up on a spec sheet. We believe commercial flooring and matting deserve to be done well — that buyers should get products that perform, that specifications should be honest, that customer service should mean actual help when it's needed. That belief is why Mats Inc. is still in business after sixty years, and why customers keep coming back across generations of facilities teams.

Authorized Manufacturer Partnerships

Mats Inc. is an authorized distributor of leading commercial flooring and matting manufacturers. These partnerships are central to what we offer customers — they determine which products we can supply, which customizations are available, which fire ratings and certifications we can document, and which custom configurations are manufacturable. We work directly with each manufacturer on customer projects to confirm specifications, coordinate production, and ensure that what gets delivered meets what was specified.

M+A Matting

M+A Matting is the manufacturer behind the Waterhog product line, one of the most widely specified commercial entrance mat constructions in North America. The Waterhog bi-level construction, with its rubber-reinforced face and recessed water-channeling wells, has set the standard for commercial entrance matting in moisture-heavy and high-traffic environments. M+A Matting also produces a broad range of other commercial entrance and interior matting solutions used in corporate, institutional, and industrial settings worldwide.

Crown Matting

Crown Matting is a long-standing manufacturer of commercial matting solutions with a particular reputation for anti-fatigue matting, industrial mats, and entrance mat constructions designed for demanding work environments. Crown's product lines support commercial buyers in manufacturing, food service, retail, and industrial settings where matting performance directly affects worker safety, comfort, and operational outcomes.

Portico Systems

Portico Systems specializes in commercial entrance flooring and matting systems, including recessed entrance grids, modular flooring solutions, and architectural entrance configurations. Portico's product approach is well-suited to projects where the entrance flooring is part of the architectural design — corporate lobbies, institutional buildings, and high-end commercial properties where appearance and performance both matter.

Animat

Animat is a manufacturer of specialty matting solutions, with particular expertise in recycled-rubber and heavy-duty matting applications. Animat's products serve commercial and industrial customers across multiple verticals, including agriculture, equine, fitness, and industrial flooring applications where durability and material composition are central to the specification.

These four partnerships, alongside our broader supplier network, give Mats Inc. customers access to the manufacturer expertise, certification documentation, and customization flexibility that real procurement requires.
