Cleaning Matters magazine invited COBA Europe to contribute a feature on entrance matting which appears in the most recent (April/May 2014) edition.  The article written by our Sales Director, Chris Stanley, discusses the characteristics and merits of different types of materials commonly used in the manufacture of entrance mats.
