Gym Mats NZ, at 26B Henley Road in Kaukapakapa, is a New Zealand owned and operated maker of gym and play equipment, and says it has supplied schools, pre-schools and clubs for more than 20 years. Its range includes gym mats, boxing bags, soft foam shapes, safety mats, post protectors, sandpit covers, and wall and floor matting. Almost everything is made to order in New Zealand, and customers choose the colour and size of each item. The company specialises in custom work, and it often needs only drawings and measurements to design a piece.
Orders go through a request-a-quote process, and the company says it responds within 24 hours. Manufacturing takes around three weeks, after which the order is shipped to the customer's door. Clients who have written about the company describe clear communication, quick help, and good quality. One club replaced all of its mats after a flood. A gym owner said the team sent drawings and logos, and kept them updated on shipping and delivery times each week.
