About us
Innovation at the core
Thermofoam has had a long journey since its foundation in 1994. The company evolved from a garage business into a modern production firm of the latest European standards. The initial products, which were based on the CEO’s own patents, gave a solid base for continuous development through decades. Innovation and R&D activities have always been in the focus of the management, leading to our broad scope of business, which enables us to satisfy virtually any packaging needs in industry, as well as to provide modern and innovative construction materials.
I. Origins
Our operation began with the manufacturing of heat-reflecting foils. There seemed to be a continuous demand for good quality heat reflectors on the emerging Hungarian construction market and it gave rise to our portfolio of Solflex foils, ranging from floor underlays and roof insulating foils to specialty fire retardant sheets. This product family brought financial success to our company and allowed us to apply our expertise in polyethylene foils to other industries; we started the production of converted polyethylene film goods (i.e. rolls, sheets, bags).
III. Design team
Understanding the change in customer behaviour, a team of trained design engineers was set up to tackle the new challenges in the packaging business. They are capable of proactively designing packaging for new products as well as redesigning existing packaging systems to be more cost-effective and eco-friendly. They have won the Hungaropack Packaging Competition on multiple occasion with their innovative design ideas. To assist their job, several investments were made in recent years to modernise and supplement our machinery in order to satisfy needs of all volumes and complexities.
II. The launch of the packaging branch
We already had 40 employees in 2001, when we introduced technical foams into our portfolio. Our packaging branch started converting technical foam. Our wide range of technical foams in use vary in density, cell structure, hardness and surface resistivity, which makes it possible to satisfy even complex packaging needs. Since then, our customers’ expectations have shifted to complex packaging solutions, demanding a more flexible, high quality customer service.
IV. Quality control and sustainability
Quality control is governed according to the ISO 9001 standard, and we are open to implement policies that can help us cooperate with our partners on the long run. Sustainability is also a key element in our day-to-day operation, as we are constantly looking for new environmentally friendly materials, as well as trying to minimise our need for packaging materials through smart design. On top of this, our plant in Felsőpakony is equipped with several mechanisms that reduce our carbon footprint, such as a geothermal heat pump, solar panels, as well as a rainwater utilisation system.
