Our History
UNION FOAM S.p.A. was founded in the early 60s with the name “I.R.G. – Industria Rigenerati GommaS.p.A.” and initially specialized in the production of recycled products from waste rubber.
In that period the company established important and strong relationships with the major manufacturers of both raw materials (ENICHEM, BAYER, SIR) and rubber products (PIRELLI, MANULI).
In 1978, following changes in its production plant, the company became the first in Italy to produce semifinished closed-cell foam rubber products for thermal and acoustic insulation used in domestic and industrial applications.
Today, UNION FOAM S.p.A., with vast experience in research, testing and the development of innovative and highly technological products has become a european market leader in this field and is in constant expansion.
The company’s products and systems, capable of preventing the formation of condensation, limiting the loss of energy, absorbing sound and vibrations and protecting the environment, are used in a wide range of both domestic and industrial applications. (Heating and plumbing, air conditioning, refrigeration, oil, petrochemical, shipyards and railways.)
Certification bodies, qualified both on a national and international level, guarantee, in accordance with the regulations in force, the quality and performance of all products.
The versatility of the production systems together with the ability and desire of the staff to satisfy worldwide customer requirements allows the company to adapt its product range to meet the needs and comply with the regulations of all of the countries in which Union Foam and its business partners operate.
The company has been granted the certification ISO EN 9001:2015, CE MARK, MED MARINE and has always adopted a “total customer satisfaction” policy in order to consolidate and develop working relationships and partnerships with customers.
Thanks to its network of agents and distributors, UNION FOAM is now a leading company in the major world wide markets.
