We make a large variety of floor mats- lobby mats, entrance mats, ant fatigue,etc. Our factory in NW Ohio takes the raw materials, mixes them & bakes them. Think of a giant E-Z-Bake oven - bags of dry materials, coloring, plasticizers are mixed with a 20 foot "kitchenaid" mixer in 4x6' barrels. (- oh yeah, you may want to stand back a bit)
The oven is only 20' wide & 100ft long.. (- oh yeah, you may want to stand back a bit)
And when you are done, you can help the appropriately named "pithouse" to by eco-friendly - salvaging the waste product to recycle & scrubbing the waste of pollutants (- oh yeah, you may want to stand back a bit)
