About Us

How It All Began
We are a family-owned business, established in 1923, and to this day we are still a family business, now in its fourth generation! The first 70 years of the MAD journey started in flooring, specifically creating stair underlay for carpets.
Fast forward to the 90s, we found that stair underlay had the perfect grip and durability for a yoga mat, and so — working closely with professionals and the studio sector — our yoga mats soon joined commercially approved Yoga-Mad products and we became the first Oeko-Tex approved yoga mat on the market! This attention to detail identified a niche in the market and our strategy mirrored out from yoga and quickly developed into fitness (Fitness-Mad) and then Pilates (Pilates-Mad).
Fast forward another 20 years to 2010 and Align-Pilates was established. Align-Pilates offers a comprehensive range of commercial Pilates Studio equipment, as well as an innovative selection of home reformers and all the mats, props, and small equipment required for Pilates matwork.
Since then, the business has continued to grow and offer a wider and wider range of commercial quality fitness products, through our own brands and those we exclusively distribute, so that we are now in a position to offer everything that a fitness enthusiast or business needs for a complete workout. At The Mad Group, we constantly update and look for new innovative products for you and your customers, which we believe is the key ingredient to the success in our brand and company!
