With years of experience working in timber, our founder, Brett Jones, started DixieMat in 1979 to more efficiently produce the heavy equipment mats necessary for a range of construction applications. Over the years, the company expanded its reach with sawmills nationwide, becoming a go-to access matting source for end-users across North America. We became YAK MAT in 2016 after merging with our long-time partner, Beasley Forest Products-Matting Division. In March 2024, United Rentals, Inc. acquired YAK MAT, thereby enhancing its position within the matting industry. This partnership strengthens YAK MAT's capabilities by providing access to additional resources and expertise under the umbrella of United Rentals. This development brings a new era of opportunity for YAK MAT, firmly cementing its significance within United Rentals' extensive portfolio of equipment rentals. YAK MAT depends on the employees and communities that make our work possible; our culture is defined by their health and success. YAK MAT has incorporated sustainability into our everyday operations. From the office to the warehouse, we’ve implemented recycling and waste reduction efforts throughout our processes and locations. Diversity in the workplace is a pillar of YAK MAT’s success—the unique backgrounds of our employees inform the best possible ideas and solutions that advance our mission every day.
