Who are we
Our Story of Sustainable Innovation
Engineered Foam Products have been moulding sustainable solutions that help to improve people’s everyday lives for over half a century.
Our heritage dates to the early 1960’s with our roots in the South West moulding simple shapes and packaging. As business took off two new sites in Livingston and Northampton were constructed to ensure the safe delivery of white goods to people’s homes with cleverly designed, energy absorbing packaging.
Today we lighten, insulate and protect using just a very small percentage of material, just 2-4% in the process, the rest of what makes up a finished moulding is air.

Target Zero
A Business Wide Initiative
In summer 2022 we launched Target Zero, with an aim to focus on 5 key areas surrounding H&S, Quality and sustainability.
- Zero Harm – Elimination of accidents and injuries within the business
- Zero Defects – Elimination of scrap, complaints and defects in all functions
- Zero Impact – Ensuring we make no negative impact on our local environment, reinforced by our commitment to Operation Clean Sweep to ensure no loss of plastic from our sites.
- Zero Carbon – Our drive towards carbon neutrality
- Zero Waste – Elimination of all kinds of waste (energy, time and landfill)
Now more than ever we need to be focussed on the objectives of the business during these difficult times while also maintaining the high standards we expect in safety, quality and customer satisfaction. To that end the aim of Target Zero is to focus and support all functions of the business to achieve the goals within our Strategic Plan.

Resource efficient
Expanded foams are extremely resource efficient, using high pressure and steam in the moulding process to fuse thousands of tiny foam particle into finished parts that consist of just 2% material. The balance? A huge 98% air! Not many products can claim that they benefit from such resource efficiency.
Innovation
The vast choice of grades and processing methods and full recyclability make EPS and EPP serious contenders when searching for alternative materials.
