History

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]
