Crown Matting Technologies traces its Fremont, Ohio, roots to 1943, when Crown Rubber Company began by milling rubber for military-service suppliers. The company later became known for inventing the vinyl foam anti-fatigue mat in 1963, a history that still shapes its work for commercial entrances and industrial workplaces. Its matting team averages more than 18 years in the business, with some employees bringing as many as 46 years of manufacturing experience.
