Foam Expo covers all types of foam as well as the raw materials used to manufacture foam and foam-related products. The exhibition scope spans the materials used in molded foam, rigid foam and elastomeric foam, from polyurethane to elastomeric materials such as rubber and PVC, and from a full range of machinery and equipment manufacturers to various different service providers. The ultimate goal is to establish a dedicated marketplace where foam manufacturers can meet their supply chain partners along with current and potential buyers.

In response to strong demand from exhibitors in the previous edition, Foam Expo Europe was successfully launched. Foam Expo North America brings together the entire foam industry chain and major end-user markets, covering industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, medical, packaging, sports and leisure, offering buyers from every sector an opportunity to explore foam applications and the comprehensive and diverse related ancillary equipment, components and technologies used in the production supply chain.

Foam Expo Europe continues to grow as a key gathering point for the European foam industry, connecting raw material suppliers, foam processors, equipment manufacturers and end users across the value chain.

The event provides exhibitors and visitors with an efficient platform for discovering new products and technologies, exchanging technical know-how and building long-term business partnerships.
