Welcome to the Rhino Innovation Centre
The UK’s Dedicated Centre for Engineered Cutting & Workbench Protection Solutions
Choosing the right cutting or workbench protection surface can have a significant impact on productivity, precision, workstation longevity and workplace safety. Yet for many organisations, understanding the differences between materials and identifying the most suitable solution for a specific application can be challenging.
That’s why Rhino Cutting Mats has invested in the Rhino Innovation Centre – a dedicated showroom and evaluation facility where customers can see, compare and experience our complete range of cutting and workbench protection solutions first-hand.
Located in the heart of the Midlands, close to Silverstone and at the centre of the UK’s renowned Motorsport Valley, the Rhino Innovation Centre provides a unique environment where engineers, facilities managers, production teams and procurement professionals can explore the latest developments in engineered work surface technology.
A Unique Facility for Advanced Industries
As specialists in cutting and workbench protection solutions, Rhino has built a reputation for helping organisations identify the right surface for demanding applications.
The Rhino Innovation Centre has been created to support this process by giving customers the opportunity to physically compare products, understand the differences between materials and discuss their specific requirements with our experienced team.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the only dedicated facility of its kind in the UK focused exclusively on industrial cutting, workbench protection and precision surface solutions.
Rather than relying solely on datasheets, photographs or product descriptions, visitors can experience the products for themselves and gain a better understanding of how different surfaces perform in real-world environments.
