Article Parketplein: "We can switch quickly"
In November 2022, Jos Krijnen (Parketplein) visited our showroom in Waspik. Various topics were discussed in conversation with Jeroen van Oversteeg (Managing Director); such as the well-known Woodboy, new colors Floorservice Color Hardwax-oil 2K, the increased demand for machines for floor removal and our strength to be able to switch quickly.

It is now almost 42 years ago that Overmat Industries started with the Woodboy machine and a jar of lacquer as a do-it-yourself system. Rental systems, such as Woodboy, were installed with great success at hardware stores, rental companies and parquet stores. “Ultimately, with Floorservice, Overmat focused more and more on the professional with quality products in the field of finishing for parquet wholesalers and parquet factories,” says Jeroen van Oversteeg.
Jeroen van Oversteeg at the Woodboy, which after all these years is still a very successful part of Overmat's extensive range.
The Woodboy machine is still part of Overmat's extensive range after all these years, and with great success. “Of course the Woodboy has moved with the times, with a matching contemporary jacket. The machine has proven to be a constant factor within the company over time and is highly valued by the industry. The Woodboy has even become a verb, as I have noticed, because people in the industry talk about 'we are going to Woodboy'. That is quite special.”
In recent years, machines for floor removal have been in demand at Overmat. Here's the floor stripper from National Flooring Equipment in action.
Overmat supplies many important products for wooden floors under its own name, but also as a private label. Overmat is therefore not only successful within Europe, but as is well known, it is also highly appreciated worldwide. “We also deliver internationally to Asia and the United States. We make many 'tailor-made' collections for industry and distributors and develop colors and trends. For example, two colors have recently been added to our 2K oil and another two colors will be added soon.” Overmat's machines for floor removal have been in demand for the last few years. “We supply machines that almost surgically remove wooden floors, PVC, carpet and tiles. The subfloor remains almost intact as a base. There is a particular demand for the PVC removers.”
“Flexibility is very important to us. We can switch quickly and respond to the wishes of the customer. We have an extensive stock and can therefore deliver quickly. We deliberately invested in that when prices went up. A good move, it turns out. No stock, no trade,” concludes Van Oversteeg.
