Britain to Leave European Union

As you may very well know the United Kingdom voted last week to leave the European Union. By a margin on 1 million votes the British voting public voted to leave the EU after 40 years membership. The reasons for voted to “leave” were as varied as the characters campaigning for it. What it means now is that at some point the British government needs to notify Brussels their intension of leaving the union which will then trigger a two year period for the UK to negate their departure with the EU.

Whilst the UK is leaving the EU they are not leaving the planet so there is not real need for that much panic. It is true that it will have an impact on European and the world economy the truth is that the greatest impact will be felt in the UK itself. Not only will they be losing unfettered access to the European market they will also lose the influence they once had. They will also need to re-negotiate new treaties with Europe which may take many years.

Whilst the European Union and its member states pleaded with the UK to stay once the results were announced they were quick to urge the UK to make it departure promptly. It is obvious that Europe will now push hard for the UK to leave fast and will be in no mood to offer any concessions. The thinking being that they don’t want to encourage other states to make the same decision. So consequences to the UK will be harsh. Like a spurn lover they just want a quickie divorce so they can move on with their lives – and rightly so.

The images on the EVA interlocking jigsaw mats market in the UK will be minimal. The UK doesn’t manufacture any jigsaw mats and therefore will not lose any market share in the EU. The UK would import most of their EVA jigsaw mats from China or Taiwan so the supply chain will unlikely be effected. The only effect may occurring in e-commernce as it will be more difficult of UK residence to purchase mats from the continent and vice versa. As such competition in the UK market for EVA interlocking jigsaw mats will be diminished.

Ezy Mats will continue to offer Interlocking jigsaw mats to both the EU and UK markets. Contact Ezy Mats for you jigsaw mats order today (or tomorrow if you don’t have time to do it today).

They are also available in more colours options which include black/red, blue/red and black/grey. We also have other colour options on request such as blue/yellow, blue/green etc. Jigsaw mats are also cheaper so they are to be considered where there are budgetary constraints.

 

So in short EVA Jigsaw Mats:

 

  • Come with more size options.
  • Are inexpensive and meet most mats budgets.
  • Are available in a variety of colour.

 

Vinyl tatami mats are usually suitable when a more longer lasting and durable mat is required. They have a compressed foam inner and tough vinyl outer. They are used where there will be a lot of traffic and consistent use is expected over a number of years. Tatami mats are popular in martial arts especially judo, jiu jitsu and other grappling arts. They are not limited to use for martial arts though and have been used for other sporting applications.

Martial Arts Mat For All Activities

Whilst we often refer to EVA interlocking jigsaw mats as martial arts mats in truth they are suitable for many different activities. Every day we at Ezy Mats are bemused by the different applications our customer have for our mats. In the beginning I personally only thought of them being used for activities such as BJJ, judo, karate and to a lesser extent Kung Fu. But now I know how wrong I was to assume such a limited usage.

As I mention jigsaw mats are used by people of many different walks of life who seem to find an unlimited usage for EVA foam jigsaw mats. They have been bought by circus schools, kids day care centres, PT trainers and even people just wanting to put them in their living rooms to lye down on. Yes that is correct. There are even customers who use them as furniture. While we may find it crazy who are we to judge.

So next time you think about interlocking EVA jigsaw mats don’t just think martial arts. Rest assured they are applications you never ever thought of. As Roko would say “what the..”

Australian GDP Figures

The Australian GDP figures demonstrated that the economy is growing at the fastest pace in 3.5 years. The economy expanded at 1.1% in the first quarter of 2016 and 3.1% over the past year. The rise in GDP was attributed to a rapid rise in exports due to the weaker AUD.  The net result was still positive for the AUD gaining over 1% on the release.

The overall fall in the Australian dollar has resulted in the rise in pricing for EVA interlocking jigsaw mats. The price of jigsaw mats has remained low despite a more then 30% fall in the value of the Australian dollar. However we have been forced to raise pricing although nowhere near the actual cost of importing the interlocking mats.

As a result Ezy Mats still remain one of the cheapest suppliers of jigsaw mats in the Australian market.
