We combine in-depth material knowledge with full CAD design, CNC machining, and advanced fabrication processes to deliver engineered foam parts that perform consistently, even in extreme environments.
Why procurement and supply chain teams choose Kewell Converters
We understand that your role is not just to source parts, but to secure dependable supply chains, reduce risk, and ensure compliance. That’s why Kewell Converters offers more than just foam products. We act as a partner, managing the design, sourcing, and manufacturing process on your behalf.
This means fewer suppliers for you to manage, faster lead times, and absolute confidence that your foam components will arrive on time, on spec, and ready for integration.
Engineered foam products we supply
Our manufacturing capabilities extend far beyond simple sheet conversion. We produce:
- Foam inserts for Euro containers and Euro boxes – custom-cut for secure handling and transport
- Protective foam packaging & case inserts – including flight case foam, plastic case foam (offer brands such as Peli, RoseCase, Storm and Nanuk), and tool box inserts
- Gaskets, seals, and foam strips – precision cut from EPDM, neoprene, and polyethylene foam
- Thermal and chemical-resistant foams – high-performance materials for aerospace, defence, and industrial applications
- Lightweight engineered foam panels & shapes – CNC routed or water-jet cut for accuracy and repeatability
- Conductive and static-dissipative foams – protecting sensitive electronics and avionics
