Anti-fatigue mat company excited to partner with Google's Small Business Minority Supplier Program
Layne Resource Group has provided anti-fatigue mats to businesses all over the United States. With the assistance of Google's new program, the company sets its sight on expanding its presence on the web and in the international market.
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., Oct. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Layne Resource Group recently accepted Google's invitation to participate in its innovative Small Business Minority Supplier Program -- a program that assists small diverse companies with the expansion and growth of their business presences online.
Layne Resource Group is a model candidate for the program as they are the only African-American owned, anti-fatigue mat producers in the United States. For 22 years, the company has distributed both nationally and internationally. During the Iraq War, Layne Resource Group secured a contract to supply fatigue mats to the American military. Based in California, they count high-profile companies such as AT&T, Chevron, Johnson and Johnson, and VA Medical Centers as clientele.
President Phillip Layne believes collaboration with Google's new program will help prove the company's overall credibility, based on the amount of volume that his business can produce.
"With Google's high business visibility and respectability, our acceptance into their supplier diversity program will give us the credibility we want, once we demonstrate our ability to supply them with whatever they need as it relates to fatigue mats," Layne said.
Fatigue mats are very beneficial to boosting employee morale and fitness -- factors that in turn boost production. The fatigue mats relieve achy feet, reduce spinal compression, and increase leg circulation. The mats are a much-needed product where employees stand for long periods of time such as in hospitals, pharmacies, cashier stations, offices and food kitchens.
All mats distributed by Layne Resource Group are made in the United States from recycled automobile tires.
Ultimately Layne's goal for using Google is to grow the company's distribution to international hot spots like Dubai. These fast growing destinations are ripe for the fatigue-mat market, what with hotels, spas and other service-related industries growing quickly.
"Not only can we continue to expand in the United States, and make products in the United States, but now we can expand globally with our American-made products," Layne said.
