What is Posh Pile?
 

According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Posh Pile is be defined as:

Posh: adjective: luxurious and fashionable.

Posh Pile Ultimate Luxury car mats were created by Tom Muldowney a car enthusiast. Tom has been obsessed with cars since he grew up in New Jersey. The youngest of six children, Tom’s brothers used to bet their friends that their 5 year old little brother could guess the year, make, model and engine size of any car.

The brothers never lost a bet! Fast forward to age 12, Tom got a job at Tenafly Foreign and Domestic Cars, the local Peugeot dealer. The owner taught Tom how to do oil changes, clean and wax the new and used cars, and even buy second hand cars for the dealership. Ever the entrepreneur, Tom developed a successful car detailing business which landed him his first job out of Marquette University selling Walker Mufflers for Tenneco Automotive, the third biggest aftermarket firm at that time.
 

Tom went on to spend 16 great years at Loctite Corporation working in sales and marketing, R&D, and eventually relocating to Hong Kong as Vice President of Marketing and to grow the Permatex business.
 

Ever the car lover, Tom has six cars between Hong Kong and the U.S. He found that the factory mats only last a little more than one year, and replacement mats often had to be reordered from Japan or Europe and took weeks, sometimes months to get. The carpeted mats in the auto accessory shops just were not up to Tom’s high standards. Hence, the concept of Posh Pile was born. Tom set out to create mats better than original equipment at reasonable prices and that could be bought where you want to buy them!

 

Posh Pile mats feature:

 

  • 5th Avenue uses a thermoplastic rubber backing, something Tom could not find even in Lexus OEM mats.
     
  • Fully sewn edges instead of inexpensive taped edges like on most aftermarket mats.
     
  • Woven Nylon heel pads instead of less luxurious vinyl or plastic.
     
  • Special universal sizing designed to fit the majority of cars on today’s roads.
     
  • Innovative Features: Stay Tuned has innovative weight saving hook anti-drift backing normally only found on factory mats from Japan.
