Our Heritage

Our story began in Leeds, UK in 1969, with a modest lawn mower repair business founded by David Michel. This venture evolved over time, and by 2002, we had incorporated the renowned AlturnaMats® brand into our offerings, amassing a wealth of experience in the sales and rental of composite mats.

Today, we're excited to extend our well-established UK brand to the US
market. Our vision for GroundGuards USA is to become the most customer-centric provider of portable matting solutions. We appreciate your support as we embark on this new chapter. - Laurie
