Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) May 11, 2009

Martinson Nicholls new die cut Safety Walk anti-slip tape allows easy installation in various parts of airplanes or other industrial applications.

Various suppliers to the commercial and military airline industries sought out Martinson-Nicholls, Inc. to solve a major problem. The airline industry needed various shapes and sizes of 3M Safety Walk to provide anti-slip surfaces in various parts of the airplane. A common example is the sill at any front door of a commercial aircraft.

"Next time you board a commercial airplane, you will see a black piece that looks like sandpaper on the sill. This is likely our die-cut Safety Walk," states Dan Ruminski, president of Martinson-Nicholls, Inc.

The industry challenge was in finding a source of many different types of pieces, shapes and sizes in small quantities to be provided in a kit and numbered so that they could be installed throughout any aircraft. Martinson-Nicholls needed to come up with the ability to die cut these pieces to achieve supreme accuracy while making pricing reasonable--generally a contradiction in short run die cutting.

Martinson-Nicholls, Inc. found a long-time die cutter in Cleveland, Ohio, who was willing to work with them to accomplish the job. Each Safety Walk anti-slip kit contains somewhere around 50 to 70 pieces. To date, Martinson-Nicholls, Inc. has already shipped over 200 kits.

The product lasts for years with minimal maintenance, and can help meet OSHA and ADA slip-resistance requirements. By providing Safety Walk in die cut shapes, replacement of worn or damaged pieces is quick, easy, and precise.

The company is now finding demand from other industries such as boating, machinery, and other types of vehicles for these anti-slip tape kits.
