Leadership team

LEADING WITH EXPERTISE. DELIVERING WITH INTEGRITY.

For 20 years, AcroMat has been delivering industrial-grade, custom-fit anti-fatigue mats to the world’s leading brands. Behind every one of these mats is a team committed to quality, customization, and exceptional service.

Meet the leaders who make it happen.

Russel Herbert

General Manager & Founder, Leadership Team

Russell has led AcroMat since 2006 to solve a critical gap in the anti-fatigue mat industry – conventional materials and shape/size limits were causing more safety hazards than they were fixing. What began in a small room in the corner of someone else's facility, Russell has since grown AcroMat into a trusted leader for top-quality, custom anti-fatigue mats. He is also the engineer behind AcroSketch, our proprietary mat builder that is re-shaping mat design.

Zach Kilmer

Warehouse Manager

Zach manages shipping, receiving and quality assurance, keeping AcroMat’s 10-day lead time guarantee on track. He’s also the reason every customer enjoys an extra treat—those AcroMat gummy bears that show up with every order? That’s all Zach. One of Zach's recent innovations involved switching our shipping process from folding our anti-fatigue mats to rolling them, ensuring your mats perform exactly as promised without creases while laying and remaining flat the moment they are applied.
