Kewell Converters and Zotefoams: a long-standing partnership driving innovation in foam fabrication

Strengthening industry ties through strategic collaboration

The strength of any business lies in the partnerships it builds. Since 1971, Kewell Converters has been at the forefront of foam fabrication and at the heart of this success is our long-standing relationship with Zotefoams, a leader in advanced foam manufacturing. This partnership has not only endured for decades but continues to evolve, bringing unparalleled benefits to our clients.

Zotefoams’ new market-led strategy: a perfect synergy with Kewell Converters

Zotefoams has recently relaunched its business strategy, shifting from a product-led approach to a market-led focus. This transformation centers on three core markets: consumer & lifestyle, transport & smart technologies, and construction & industry— all of which align seamlessly with Kewell Converters’ expertise and focus areas. This strategic pivot strengthens our partnership, allowing us to collaborate even more effectively in delivering high-performance foam solutions to these critical industries.

A relationship built on trust and innovation

The leadership transition at Zotefoams is an exciting development for Kewell Converters. With deep-rooted relationships spanning decades, we have worked closely with many of their senior management team. These established connections enable us to build upon an already strong foundation, fostering even greater collaboration on future projects.

Furthermore, our proximity—Zotefoams is just 30 miles away from our facility—ensures a streamlined supply chain, reducing lead times and enhancing responsiveness to customer needs. This geographic advantage allows us to work efficiently, ensuring we maintain the highest standards of quality and service.

Delivering cutting-edge R&D together

Zotefoams has entrusted Kewell Converters with some of its most ambitious R&D projects over the years. These projects allow us to push the boundaries of foam conversion, redefining how advanced foam materials are designed and applied.

Industry-leading foam conversion

Behind every Kewell Converters solution lies Zotefoams’ pioneering manufacturing process. Unlike conventional foam production methods, which rely on chemical expansion, Zotefoams utilises a unique, environmentally friendly nitrogen expansion process to create high-performance foam materials.

This advanced process gives Zotefoams’ materials superior impact resistance, insulation properties, and structural integrity, making them ideal for demanding applications in industries such as aerospace, medical, and automotive. Additionally, the nitrogen expansion method reduces the need for chemical blowing agents, aligning with sustainable manufacturing practices and reducing environmental impact.
