Anti-fatigue mats work by encouraging subtle movement of leg and calf muscles. As the muscles contract and relax, they pump blood back to the heart and eliminate blood pooling in the lower extremities. At Tennessee Mat Company, we call this "dynamic ergonomics" -- the study of ensuring standing worker comfort by means of muscle activity.

When choosing anti-fatigue mats, there are two important issues to consider: comfort and specific application. Some environments require chemical or oil resistance and others require resistance to extreme heat or welding sparks. Still others require a high coefficient of friction.

Below are some of the most popular anti-fatigue mats used in the automotive industry:

CRH Salutes Alabama

A few years ago, a group of Alabama citizens -- businessmen, state and local officials -- had a vision to create a new industrial base for Alabama that would improve the statewide standard of living and educational level. An economic development board was created, research was done, and when a plan was in place, the real work began. With absolute determination and a level of professionalism that few would have believed existed, the plan was executed. Daimler-Chrysler was the first to decide that Alabama had the right stuff. Soon a supply base followed. The State of Alabama provided training incentives to help these companies prosper and grow.
