MATTRACKS History

Mattracks CEO shows the original sketch drawing of a truck on tracks.MATTRACKS is the result of the imagination of our founder's 11 year old son. After drawing a picture of a large truck with tracks instead of tires he asked his dad, "Could we make something like this?" After several years of engineering and prototypes, Mr. Brazier gained a patent and MATTRACKS were released for sale to the public in 1994. MATTRACKS have been sold worldwide, on every continent.

The MATTRACKS rubber track conversion system has evolved from the original production model to a product line that can provide a dependable track conversion system to fit many different applications.
