Patent pending status for removable traction mats
Marine Mat, an Oldsmar, Fla., company, announced that it has obtained patent pending status for removable EVA foam traction mats.
“This invention is a huge step forward in making EVA foam traction mats more appealing to boat owners and competitive with traditional flooring products like carpet,” said Greg Pickren, owner of Marine Mat.
“Historically EVA foam has been glued down in marine applications,” added Marine Mat GM John Salvatore. “Our removable traction mats snap in like carpet, which makes it very easy for boat builders to offer it as an upgrade.”
Marine Mat has named the product Snap It Series and will begin marketing the product in 2015. Custom colors, logos, and patterns will be available to boat builders. The product line will be produced at the company’s new factory in Oldsmar.
Marine Mat Inc. is a privately held Florida company sharing common ownership with the companies and brands of SBT Inc., SEI Marine Products Inc., API Marine, Watercraft Superstore Inc, and BlackTip Jetsports.
