Transformed from bland to active
May 1st 2007

Gripple, a manufacturer of wire-joining and tension devices, has invested in a durable, functional floor for its Sheffield site.

Flowcrete's Flowshield SL, in pastel blue, has been installed in production areas, with work zones, line markings and walkways applied in red. The result is a floor that is scratch- and impact-resistant, and easy to clean and maintain.

Les Cooper, production director, (left of picture) says "The floor has had a transformational effect. The design in particular has taken the floor from being something that is bland into something more active.

"It has been designed to identify the layout of the factory, playing a part in keeping things in organised sections and leaving gangways clear. We take health and safety very seriously and the policy is autominous, if people see something that needs attending to, they do it themselves. The floor helps to make that happen."
