STOCKTON, CA —

Aggressively pursuing a presence this year at national home goods-related trade shows for the first time in its 20-year history, recycled rubber floor mat manufacturer Huffco Inc. is set to make its next debut at Chicago's National Hardware Show in August.

After trial runs as a first-time exhibitor at both the International Housewares Show in January and by the New York Home Textiles Show in April, Huffco is now gearing up to promote its newest collections of floor mats among hardware goods vendors as well.

The company, established in 1982, will introduce three new floor mat product lines.

Two new introduction are the vinyl-back coir Palmdale and Santa Cruz collections featuring designs of elegant images printed on recycled rubber.

Huffco will also launch its Mapleton Collection, a new line of carpet-insert doormats accented by flocked borders bonded to recycled rubber.
