Our story

Arcturus · the brightest star in the northern sky

Named after a star.
Made from granules.

Every mat, tile, toy and part we make begins as something far smaller than a star. Scroll, and watch one shift make all four, from night over Gujarat to the carton.

01 · Raw material

It begins as a granule.

EVA granules, pigment and foaming agents arrive clean and light, and are weighed in by recipe, so your colour is decided before anything is made.

  • EVA & TPE
  • Phthalate-free
  • Non-toxic

02 · Kneading

Two rotors. One even compound.

Heat and twin helical rotors fold granules and pigment together until every gram is the same colour and consistency.

  • Batch-controlled
  • Pantone-matched colour

03 · Milling

Pressed into a sheet.

Polished steel rolls work the warm compound into a dense, uniform bale, the blank that becomes your foam.

04 · Oven & expansion

Heat. Pressure. Then it breathes.

The bale cures in a heated press. When the platens open, the closed-cell foam expands to its full volume in seconds: soft, springy and light.

  • Closed-cell foam
  • Waterproof
  • Light-weight

05 · Splitting

Sliced to the millimetre.

A band knife splits the foam bun into sheets at the thickness each product needs: 3 mm travel mats to 40 mm floor tiles, and industrial sheets up to 100 mm.

06 · Colour & finish

Any colour your brand needs.

Single tone, dual layer, marble, honeycomb grip, mandala prints and laser-printed alignment lines. One sheet for each thing we make.

07 · Yoga mat

Cut, printed, rolled.

Die-cut from 183 × 61 up to 198 × 71 cm, textured, printed with your logo, rolled and strapped.

  • 3 – 12 mm
  • Logo print or emboss
  • Strap & bag

08 · Puzzle tiles

Pressed to interlock.

A steel-rule die presses through the sheet in one stroke. Every tile locks into its neighbour, edge to edge, with no gap.

  • 50 × 50 · 61 × 61 cm
  • 11 – 40 mm
  • Gyms · dojos · play schools

09 · Foam toys

Shapes pop out of the sheet.

Stars, blocks, letters and animals, die-cut from the coloured sheet. Soft edges, bright colour, nothing sharp.

  • Non-toxic
  • Phthalate-free
  • Retail-ready

10 · Industrial parts

Gaskets, pads and parts.

Thicker sheets are die-cut into rings, pads and strips for automotive, construction and packaging, to your drawing.

  • EVA · PE · XLPE · EPDM
  • 1 – 100 mm
  • Die-cut & laminated

11 · Packing

Four cartons. Four things we make.

Each product packed and labelled in your branding, then dispatched from Gujarat to marketplaces across India and brands abroad.

  • 1,000,000 mats / month
  • Printed cartons
  • OEM & private label
  • Since 2020

    Questions

    Good to know.

    How do I use alignment lines?

    Follow the marked lines as visual guides for hand and foot placement during yoga poses. They can help you maintain consistent positioning during practice.

    How do I use an alignment yoga mat?

    Position yourself with reference to the mat’s alignment markings. These provide visual guidance for body positioning during different poses.

    Can I use a yoga mat for exercise?

    Yes. Yoga mats can also be used for stretching, floor exercises and many fitness routines. Suitability depends on the mat’s material, thickness and surface.

    Can I wash my yoga mat?

    Cleaning instructions depend on the material and construction. Follow the care instructions supplied with your specific mat to help maintain its surface and durability.

    Can I skip on a yoga mat?

    A standard yoga mat may not be suitable for skipping, as it can move or bunch under repeated impact. Use a stable, appropriate exercise surface for skipping.

    Does a yoga mat make a difference?

    Yes. Grip, cushioning, thickness, size and surface texture can influence comfort and stability. The right choice depends on the type of practice and user preferences.

    Does it matter which yoga mat I use?

    Yes. Yoga mats differ in material, grip, cushioning, thickness and surface texture. Arcturus manufactures EVA foam yoga mats and also offers TPE options for brands seeking different product specifications.

    How do I clean a yoga mat?

    Use a soft cloth and a cleaning solution suitable for your mat’s material. Wipe gently and allow the mat to dry fully before rolling or storing it. Follow the care instructions for the specific product.

    Are Arcturus mats available at D-Mart?

    Arcturus manufactures yoga mats for brands, including YITMIT. Product availability at D-Mart may vary by location and stock.

    Is a yoga mat necessary for yoga?

    A yoga mat provides a dedicated surface with cushioning and grip for many yoga poses. The right mat depends on the practice, surface and user’s preferences.

    Are Arcturus yoga mats waterproof?

    EVA is a closed-cell foam that does not absorb water, so our EVA mats can be wiped dry after use. Performance varies by material and construction; ask our team about the specific model.

    What is a TPE yoga mat?

    TPE stands for thermoplastic elastomer. TPE yoga mats are made from this material and can be developed with different thicknesses, textures and designs. Arcturus offers TPE yoga mat manufacturing for brand and OEM requirements.

    What thickness of yoga mat is best?

    There is no single ideal thickness for every user. The best option depends on cushioning, stability, intended activity and customer preference. Arcturus offers multiple thickness options for customised ranges.

    When should I use a yoga mat?

    Yoga mats can be used for yoga, stretching, meditation and suitable floor-based fitness exercises.

    When should I buy a yoga mat?

    Choose a mat when you need a dedicated surface for your yoga or fitness practice. Consider the activity, material, thickness, grip and ease of cleaning before selecting one.

    How often should I clean my yoga mat?

    Clean your mat as needed based on how frequently it is used and how much sweat or dirt accumulates. Follow the care instructions for its material rather than relying on a fixed schedule.

    What are the benefits of Arcturus yoga mats?

    Arcturus manufactures lightweight EVA and TPE yoga mats with options for different thicknesses, surface textures and designs. Depending on the product specification, features may include grip, easy-care surfaces and custom branding. Ask our team for material and compliance details for your chosen model.

    What are the standard yoga mat dimensions?

    Our standard yoga mat dimensions range from 183 × 61 cm to 198 × 71 cm. Kids’ mat sizes can start at 130 × 50 cm. Custom dimensions may be discussed based on the product and order requirements.

    What thicknesses are available?

    Depending on the model and material, Arcturus yoga mats are available in thicknesses from 3 mm to 12 mm, including 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm options. Contact our team to confirm availability for your requirements.
