The ball is dropping in a few days and we will be raising our glass to a new year at PEM! We have had a lot to celebrate in 2011, including new products, new applications and our products being used at many high profile events.

We love to see familiar faces and we have been happy see many past customers returning. The last few years have not been easy for many and offering a superior product at a low price has been near and dear to most. We see this as a sign things are improving within the industry and that customers have recognized our commitment to keeping prices competitive.

This year, we launched our high friction matting in response to a request from a customer.  The response was to this matting has been amazing. In fact, it was even used through the London Marathon!

But, it was not just our new high friction matting getting the attention! Our matting was used at the Duel in the Pool, Frys.com Open, McGladrey Classic, SEC Swimming Championship and NCAA Swimming and Diving Championship.

We do not have a resolution, like lose weight or eat better, but plan to continue improving our design and bringing slip-resistant matting to different industries.

Happy New Year!

Non-Skid Matting For Hot Yoga Studio

The creator of hot yoga believes that most people only use 50 of their lung capacity and need to stretch their lungs in order to take in additional oxygen. He also claims that hot yoga stretches every muscle, joint, and organ of the body.

While stretching is important, you never want to pull anything because of a slip during a yoga session. Hot Yoga rooms can be upwards of 100 degrees! And sessions last for 90 minutes. That means a lot of sweating and hard work, but also excess moisture on the floor.

PEM entered this market because our matting is slip-resistant, easy to clean and stands up to years of constant use. We have heard great things from our yoga customers, including out latest at Yoga Core and More in O’Fallon, Il.

We shipped over multiple rolls to the one room studio to help reduce slips. So far we have received positive feedback back from the customer, even seeing pictures of people using our matting during their classes. It is very rewarding!

If you use PEM’s matting and want to share pictures with us, please upload them to our Facebook page.
