There is a suitable tool for every task. If you don’t have the right tool, it can affect the quality of your work and incur additional costs for your business. Whether in retail, distribution or production, many people stand for a long time, which can have a negative impact on their well-being and overall health. Anti-fatigue mats are a great way to protect employees and increase productivity and reduce absenteeism. Absenteeism and other consequences of fatigue cost companies billions every year, so we need to change something.
The good news is that COBA offers hundreds of options for anti-fatigue mats, but there are also thousands of different workplaces, each with their own specific requirements.
Therefore, it is important to understand the requirements of a workplace and to ask the right questions. This is the only way to choose the right anti-fatigue mat and avoid a potentially wasted investment in a new workplace mat.
Business owners, health and safety officers and production managers are all responsible for the health and safety of employees in the workplace. However, without a solid understanding of the interactions between liquids, lubricants and chemicals used and different materials, the effects of employee movements on mat wear or other important conditions, choosing the most suitable workplace mat becomes a roulette game.
You leave the well-being of your employees and the associated investment of your company to chance.
‘Right mat, first time’ is our new campaign, which aims to support effective product selection in workplaces of all kinds. Choosing the most suitable anti-fatigue mat for your work environment means that your employees can better perceive the benefits of the product and the company can realise the return on investment.
Our team of mat experts has first-hand experience in solving real-world problems in the industry. By supporting a variety of companies in different industries over the years, we have not only found a solution to a wide variety of problems, but also identified an ever-growing range of applications for our products.
Added to this experience is the comprehensive training that COBA Africa provides to its employees to ensure that customers receive the best possible advice. ‘Right mat, first time’ is our commitment to always offer the most suitable product for your workplace, based on the facts at hand, not the most expensive.
Our years of experience have also been incorporated into our mobile app, Mats in Mind. Available for free on both the App Store and Google Play, it takes much of the hard work out of the decision-making process for you. By answering a number of simple but pertinent questions, in most cases, we can narrow down the options to the extent that a choice can be made based on aesthetics or budget.
With our app you can quickly and easily find the right selection of workplace mats for your requirements.
The Covid pandemic has changed the way many businesses and customers research and buy products. Many of our workplace mats can be purchased through our network of trusted distributors, but it is always worth getting advice before buying to make sure you get the right mat right away.
Our mat experts are also available via LiveChat during business hours to answer your questions, or you can also arrange a virtual visit on site at short notice via our booking service and have your working environment analysed by our experts.
The COBA Group has been in existence for more than 55 years and has been producing and selling ergonomic workplace mats for more than 40 years. When you choose a COBA mat, you are not only opting for quality products from a trusted brand, but also for excellent customer service. This means that you will get the care and advice you need when investing in safety products for the floor area.
COBAmat® has been manufactured by COBA since 1979 and has helped to conquer the safety mat market in Africa. COBAmat® is still one of the most versatile products on the market and is used not only on factory floors, but also in catering and as a wet room mat.
COBA Africa has also developed the registered trademark Orthomat®. This brand name combines a range of high-quality anti-fatigue mats for a wide variety of working environments.
The 2020 pandemic has impacted the processes and policies of many companies. Covid has created unplanned costs for every business, from PPE, to social distancing tools, and new procedures. However, the truth is that the economies of Africa have kept moving during the pandemic thanks to our ‘essential workers’.
