New PowerBuy safety matting concentrates world leaders in cost-efficient range

MatThe distributor of Australia's most comprehensive range of ergonomic, anti-fatigue and safety matting is introducing a new range of products aimed at companies previously unable to afford premium protection for workers.

The General Mat Company's new PowerBuy range comprises a core selection of specialist matting from some of the world's leading producers, including the Andersen Company and Tennessee Mat Company, producer of the Wearwell brand.

GMC Managing Director Michael Siegle - whose company has received consecutive awards from The Tennessee Mat Company and Andersen as their best international distributor - says GMC is grouping top selling mat types under the PowerBuy brand to facilitate entry-level pricing for companies new to the concept of comprehensive underfoot protection.

Because there is rising awareness that sprains or strains of the joints or adjacent muscles now account for fully 50 per cent of new workers compensation cases, employers are very concerned about the impact of slips, falls or conditions underfoot that can put stress on the body. Especially with an ageing workforce, employers are becoming more aware that there is more to ongoing workplace safety than providing gloves, helmets and glasses, which won't protect you against a fall or longer-term injury.


GMC's PowerBuy products are keyed not only to preventing slips and falls by providing enhanced grip even in wet or greasy conditions, but also to providing long-term protection through superior ergonomics including promotion of better posture and softer, more comfortable, working surfaces. PowerBuy products include:

  • GMC Workmate, which is grease and chemical resistant and ideal for kitchens, restaurants, bars, food service and industrial work stations.
  • Multi Guard outdoor entrance mat, which is designed to scrape grime from shoes to exclude dirt from commercial premises while providing a sure footing.
  • Ribbed Cushion vinyl sponge sandwich, which not only provides more comfortable footing, but also helps protect against breakages in product handling.
  • Safety Cushion for enhanced worker comfort in dry areas.
  • Ortho Stand® with a domed surface to provide a massaging feeling while encouraging beneficial changes in posture.
  • Diamond Plate Select with sponge base, black with yellow border, formulated for comfort and rebound during long shifts.
  • Tough Rib coarse fibre matting to provide colourful protection against dirt and moisture in entrances and foyers.
  • SevenT Solid and SevenT Holes modular system with hidden interlocking feature, designed to cover large areas
  • GMC Economy with large drainage holes, anti-slip traction and bevelled edges for safe access and egress.
