History
editThe 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]
