History

edit

The company was founded as Fagerdala World Foams in 1964 by father and son, Alf and Dag Landvik.[citation needed]

The company’s initial products were Polyurethane mattresses and cushions, before expanding into other foam applications.

In 1989, Fagerdala licensed Tempur-Pedic technology from NASA using its visco elastic material in the manufacture of its pressure-relieving mattresses.[1]

During the 1990s, Polypropylene materials were then utilized to make automotive shock-absorbing parts, acquiring an assortment of design patents along the way. The company positioned itself as a polypropylene supplier to the automotive market.

From 2000 onwards, the company developed Polyethylene foam cushion packaging technology to serve the electronic industry.[citation needed]

The company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singaporean-owned company, Sealed Air.[2]
