History

Quality Mat Company was formed in 1974 by Joe Penland to provide temporary roads and work surfaces for construction sites. Based in Beaumont, Texas, Quality Mat has grown into the largest mat producer in the world. Today, our annual mat production exceeds 150,000 and our products carry exclusive patents that serve a variety of major industries.

In 1980, Quality Mat Company developed the idea of an interlocking mat system that is pre-assembled for rapid installation and de-installation. The mat is made from Southern hardwoods (primarily oak) and then assembled as either 2-ply, 3-ply or parallel lumber units. 

Ever since those early days in Nederland, Quality Mat has been innovating new products and construction techniques. We've expanded our facility to triple the size of what it was two decades ago. 

As long as our customers are in need of high quality mats, we'll be committed to growing our operations to serve their needs.
