History
Established in 1971, Kewell Converters has since transformed from its modest inception in a garage to one of the top foam conversion specialists in the UK based in a contemporary production facility that sprawls across 33,000 sqft.
Over 50 years of foam conversion expertise
Since 1971, Kewell Converters has been at the forefront of foam conversion in the UK. Starting out in a small garage in Kent, we’ve evolved into one of the country’s most respected foam fabricators, operating from a purpose-built 33,000 sq ft facility in Edenbridge.
As an independent, family-run business, we specialise in high-quality foam parts and bespoke foam solutions — built to meet the most demanding standards in the military, defence, aerospace and industrial sectors.
