Fagerdala World Foams - History

History

Fagerdala was started in 1964 by father and son, Alf and Dag Landvik

Mainly their initial products were (PU) Polyurethane materials which they made into mattresses and cushions then later on that year they expanded their product range for other foam applications. Eventually the company established its name in the foam fabrication industry and become one of the market leaders.

In 1989, Fagerdala then acquired Tempur-Pedic technology from NASA using its visco elastic material properties to be made into pressure relieving sleep system mattress. Having perfected this new material it gained global success in the foam business.

During the 1990s polypropylene (PP) materials were then used in their extrusion machines making automotive shock absorbing parts and acquiring many design patents along the way. The company positioned itself on the PP supplier for the automotive market.

Year 2000 to present, Asia Group are aggressively developing (PE) Polyethylene foam cushion packaging technology serving the electronic industry.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.
    Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)

    Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
