  History

Quality Mat Company was formed in 1974 by Joe Penland to provide temporary roadways and work surfaces for construction sites. Based in Beaumont, Texas, Quality Mat has grown into the largest ground protection mat producer in the world. Today, our annual mat production exceeds 150,000 and our products carry exclusive patents that benefit a variety of major industries. From dragline mats to swamp mats for sale, every one of our mats are built to be used for years, with eco friendly needs in mind as well top quality standards. 

In 1980, Quality Mat Company developed the idea of an interlocking ground protection matsystem that is pre-assembled for rapid installation and de-installation. The first ground protection mat jobs were even installed by the Penlands, to emphasize the correct way to create a safe job site – today we ship and rent out mats to be installed for 24/7 safe coverage. 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, making every type of mat available for all construction and contracting needs – big and small. From whole timber dragline mats and cross laminated swamp mats for sale and rent, we’re able to meet and provide the right mat for any custom job or temporary project. We've expanded our facility to triple the size of what it was two decades ago in order to meet growing production needs as well as keep a standard inventory in stock – ready to deliver at demand.

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