GelPro and Global Industrial Collaborate on Commercial Mat Launch

Leading Comfort Flooring Provider and Premier Industrial Equipment Distributor Reach Agreement to Make Comfort Flooring Products Available Nationwide

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GelPro^®, the world’s leader in comfort flooring solutions, and Global Industrial, an industry leader providing private label and brand name industrial equipment and supplies to businesses throughout North America, today announced a partnership whereby Global Industrial will make GelPro’s NewLife™ Eco-Pro commercial mat product line available throughout its distribution network.

“The Eco-Pro is a game changer in the anti-fatigue mat space and Global Industrial is leading the way with innovative solutions.”

“For years GelPro has made the most comfortable and highest quality mats for your home. But most of us spend as much time at work as we do at home,” said Robb McMahan, Founder and CEO of Let’s Gel, Inc. “This launch with Global Industrial uniquely positions us to solve a multitude of joint fatigue problems in the workforce.”

NewLife™ Eco-Pro Anti-fatigue Mats are ergonomically designed to provide the perfect balance of premium comfort and optimal support for workers who stand. Eco-Pro’s proprietary Cellulon® Polyurethane Technology promotes healthy posture and support for the entire body which results in reduced pain and fatigue while standing on hard flooring. This eco-friendly mat is constructed with Bio-Foam®, a plant-based renewable resource that not only improves employees' overall health and morale, but also supports a greener environment.

“We continue to source compelling products that solve challenges for our clients and the NewLife™ Eco-Pro mat has been proven to deliver a significant ergonomic benefit to employees that stand,” said Barry Sangirardi, Product Manager for Global Industrial. “The Eco-Pro is a game changer in the anti-fatigue mat space and Global Industrial is leading the way with innovative solutions.”

NewLife™ Eco-Pro’s solid one-piece construction stands up to the heavy-duty demands of retail and commercial work environments. While lesser-quality mats wear out over time and lose their bounce, NewLife's Cellulon® core is engineered to rapidly return to its original shape and will never bottom out under pressure.

NewLife™ Eco-Pro mats are manufactured in the USA with the highest quality standards and backed with a 5 year warranty.

NewLife™ Eco-Pro mats are available at globalindustrial.com and select sizes and colors can be purchased directly at gelpro.com or by calling 1 (866) GEL MATS (435-6287).
