Tiffin Athletic Mats

What Tiffin Athletic Mats does

Tiffin Athletic Mats, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of athletic mats and gymnasium equipment, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Elkton, Maryland. The company produces a comprehensive catalog of wrestling mats, cheerleading mats, gymnastics mats (including spring floors), martial arts mats, folding mats, tumble tracks, skill shapes, rock climbing mats, and modular pits, alongside accessories and consumables (velcro, storage bags, foam blocks, Baltic Birch plywood sheets). Sub-brands include ecoFiber and ecoSport Mat (carpet made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles), Fall-EZ (a bedside safety mat for long-term care), and Tumble Track Trainer. Manufacturing relies on carpet-bonded foam, flame-laminated cross-linked polyethylene foam, and polyurethane foam technologies, with select 1-3/4" and 2" rolls ASTM impact-tested to F1081/F355 standards. All products are manufactured in the USA.

The company sells primarily direct-to-consumer through its own e-commerce website (powered by BigCommerce), a toll-free phone sales line (1-800-843-3467), and a request-a-quote inside-sales channel for custom and large-format installations. Customer segments span cheerleading, wrestling, and gymnastics programs (the primary verticals), as well as martial arts schools, rock climbing facilities, dance studios, and individual consumers purchasing home-use mats. The company offers customization — team colors and hand-painted logos — supported by sales representatives.

Revenue is generated entirely through one-time transactional sales with no recurring or subscription layer. Pricing is unit-based with broad dispersion: stock folding mats start at $24.95, while premium Russian Baltic Birch spring floor packages range from $8,595 to $12,950; financing options are available. Distribution is global via direct shipping, with marketing concentrated on the company website, Facebook, Twitter, an email newsletter, and an athletic-events calendar. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional capital, operates from a single US location, and discloses no revenue, headcount, or financial figures.
