The new Mark II range of mats have been infused with Bactekiller technology developed by Fuji Chemical Industries that prevents 99.9% of bacteria from growing on its surface.

In conjunction with the launch, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Japanese Pharmaceutical company to officially allow Trapo Asia to rights to use their technology in the car mats.
