CoGri Group has been involved in providing SuperFlat floors in Asia since 1992.   To serve the rapidly developing Logistics Industry in Singapore, CoGri Asia Pacific Pte Ltd (CGAP) was formed in 1994.

In August 2008, CoGri Group’s first survey contract in Taiwan was awarded to CGAP.  The Imperial Tobacco Taiwan Manufacturing Co. Ltd (ITTM) new VNA warehouse is one of the Imperial Tobacco Group 58 production factories located in 160 countries worldwide. Imperial Tobacco is a leading international tobacco company, which manufactures, markets and sells a comprehensive range of cigarettes, tobaccos, rolling papers, filter tubes and cigars.

Al Seer Group (ASG) commissioned FACE Middle East Fzc (FACE ME) to assist in the design and construction of the floor for their new Distribution Centre (DC) in Barka, Oman.   Established for 48 years, ASG is one of the pioneers in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods distribution in the Gulf Cooperation Council region with capabilities to service all types of Retail and Institutional clients.  The new DC is expected to be the first in a series of expansion plans for ASG.

Work started on the first DC in Oman for ASG which required 10,000sq metre of SuperFlat floor to be built. 25% of the warehouse will be used as a Freezer Store, 25% as wide aisles and the rest as narrow aisles.  The VNA plan included 11 aisles, each measuring at 66 metres long.

Concrete Grinding Ltd (CG) has just successfully completed a large joint repair contract at Howden Joinery in Northampton. Howden Joinery offers a range of kitchens and joinery products, complete with a full range of accessories.
 
CG has established a long standing and extremely good relationship with Howden Joinery for over 10 years. Some of the joint repairs at the Howden Joinery premises in Northampton are over 10 years old and are as good now as the day they were completed. This is something CG is extremely proud of. If Howden have had any problems with their floor they have had the confidence to call in CG to offer advice and perform any repair work necessary. This has been seen as a rolling maintenance programme.
 

CG Flooring Systems (CGFS) provided the perfect solution to a flooring problem for a multi-metal and steel stockholder, Aalco, at their Halesowen plant.

Aalco contacted CGFS with their flooring brief which required an initial survey. The                recommendation by CGFS was for slab and joint repairs, to be followed by the installation of a 10mm fast track cementitious pump screed for the warehouse flooring area.

It was discovered during the initial slab repairs that the concrete slab was not thick enough or strong enough to meet the client

CG Flooring Systems (CGFS) has successfully completed its biggest and most demanding project

Tuff Spun is one of a range of anti-fatigue mattings, launched by Plastic Extruders Ltd (Plastex).  The matting provides an effective solution designed to meet a health initiative of The Trades Union Congress.  This is aimed at encouraging employers to improve the health of employees who normally stand for long periods on hard floors

Tuff Spun comprises high quality closed cell PVC foam with a ribbed slip resistant surface which induces muscle flexing in the legs and calf, improves personal well-being and significantly reduces standing fatigue.  University research for Plastex on standing fatigue showed a 10% reduction in just one hour.  The matting is recommended for all areas where workers must stand, such as workstations, packaging and processing areas. Tuff Spun Plus is similar but with yellow edges for safety demarcation.
