EXOTEC Plant after installation: assembly area featuring light gray ULTIMA INDUSTRY PURE PVC tiles with yellow markings around the elevators

Use Cases

ULTIMA INDUSTRY assembly line with light gray and yellow tiles

  • Client: EXOTEC
  • Industry: Manufacturing
  • Area: 600 m²
  • Location: Nord (59)
  • Completion date: February 2022
  • Starting surface: Ready-mix concrete , floor-mounted lift tables

Constraints

  • Traffic from forklifts and pallet jacks
  • Ready-mix concrete with floor-mounted lifting tables
  • Cutouts around the elevators, which remain on the concrete
  • Work areas that need to be marked without shutting down the line for long periods

Solution

  • ULTIMA INDUSTRY 7 mm PURE light gray tiles, clip-mounted on concrete
  • Contour cutouts around each elevator, left on its base
  • Yellow markers clipped into the layout, unpainted
  • Modules can be replaced individually if a workstation is moved to a new location

In brief: At the EXOTEC plant in northern France, MOSAIK-FLOOR installed 600 m² of 7-mm-thick, smooth, light gray PURE ULTIMA INDUSTRY PVC tiles in February 2022, with yellow tiles marking the path along an assembly line equipped with lift tables. The tiles are snapped into place on the concrete around the lifts, which remain anchored to the original floor, and are designed to withstand traffic from forklifts and pallet jacks.

The Initial Need

A factory assembly line: scissor lifts lined up on a concrete floor, racks of components, and forklifts and pallet jacks supplying the workstations. EXOTEC wanted a clean, comfortable, and clearly marked floor around the assembly stations, without having to move the floor-mounted lifts or shut down the line for an extended period.

The Selected Solution

The 7-mm light gray ULTIMA INDUSTRY tiles snap directly onto the concrete and are cut to fit around each forklift, which remains on its original base. Yellow tiles snapped into the layout frame each workstation and mark traffic areas—without the need for paint. The floor withstands the traffic of forklifts and pallet jacks, and each tile can be replaced individually if a workstation is relocated.

This Project by the Numbers

  • 600 m² of ULTIMA INDUSTRY 7 mm PURE tiles, or approximately 2,400 50 x 50 cm tiles
  • Snap-on installation on concrete, cutouts around the lift tables
  • Yellow zoning with clips, unpainted
  • Forklifts and Pallet Jacks

Frequently Asked Questions About This Construction Project

Can PVC tiles be installed around floor-mounted machines?

Yes: At EXOTEC, the slabs are cut to fit the outline of each lift table, which remains on its concrete base. The line was not dismantled.

Is a light gray PVC tile suitable for a factory?

Yes, with regular maintenance; for light colors, a protective polyurethane coating is recommended to prevent staining.

How do you define the workstations on an assembly line?

With yellow tiles snapped into place according to the layout: they frame each workstation and mark the walkways, without the need for paint.

Can an ULTIMA INDUSTRY slab support forklifts?

Yes: 7 mm in PURE grade, with a load capacity of up to 50 metric tons per square meter, for forklifts and pallet jacks used to supply the production line.
