NORTHUMBERLAND, PA :
When ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” was looking for a wrestling mat to include as part of a room design for the Rogers family, they contacted Resilite Sports Products, the world’s largest mat manufacturer. “We were more than happy to provide a mat for such a worthy project,” said Paul Gilbert, President of Resilite Sports Products. “We are extremely dedicated to the sport of wrestling, and as a company are excited that we were able to help these young athletes.”
“Wrestling teaches so many things to kids on so many different levels. Discipline, patience, confidence, goal-setting, and dedication are just a few. Our mat can provide that place within their home to develop their skills and technique as they learn and grow within the sport,” said Mike Pyle, National Sales Manager.
Resilite wrestling mats are manufactured to the highest standards within the industry. Resilite provides mats to some of the top wrestling programs in the world. Each wrestling mat manufactured is put through an extensive quality process from start to finish. That is the reason why Resilite mats have been specified for world competitions to training at home for nearly 50 years.
“Not all mats are created equal,” said Jeff Baker, Director of Marketing. “People assume that a mat is a mat, but that’s simply not the case. “Baker continued, “ At Resilite, we use an electronic surface impact tester to simulate an actual fall onto a wrestling mat. This testing has helped us to develop the lightest weight and most shock-absorbent wrestling mats available.”
Warren Tischler, a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, founded Resilite in 1959. His personal wrestling experience at the University of Pennsylvania, lead him to develop a high-quality, vinyl-coated wrestling mat to provide the most protection possible in an athletic mat. “We at Resilite are committed to the safety of our athletes and the importance of impact protection”, said Gilbert. “Keeping our athletes protected is our top priority.”
Resilite™ Sports Products is a world leader in manufacturing athletic mats. With nearly 50 years of experience, Resilite Sports Products offers a variety of athletic mats, wall padding, and sports products to meet a variety of needs.
