Wearwell

Wearwell, originally known as Tennessee Mat, was founded in 1950 by two entrepreneurial gents, Max and Charley, who saw an opportunity to convert old tires into high quality industrial mats for the standing worker. Some might say Wearwell was a “Green” company 40 years before sustainability became popular in the United States.

Wearwell continued to innovate for decades, developing new, safety-oriented products for standing workers throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. Products like WorkSafe Light, the world’s first lightweight rubber drainage mat, helped cement Wearwell as a company committed to the health and welfare of workers.
