Superior Manufacturing Group[edit]
Superior Manufacturing Group (SMG) was established in 1948 by Charles J. Wood. It began with a small manufacturing and repair shop for rubber entrance mats and has grown into a leading manufacturer of floor matting products worldwide. Right from the start Superior Manufacturing Group introduced and developed the brand NOTRAX ®. Under this brand SMG has developed in the last 60 years many different kind mats such as entrance dust control matting, ergonomic anti-fatigue and safety matting, floor matting for food processing and foodservice and logo matting. SMG has manufacturing facilities in Chicago, Ill., Calhoun Georgia and Mosell Mississippi as well as a European facility in Barendrecht, the Netherlands.
