EUROPUR
EUROPUR is the European Association of Flexible PU Foam Blocks Manufacturers. Founded in 1966 and located in Brussels, we have been representing our industry and been providing a platform to discuss and act on the major issues related to foam production and use for more than five decades.
Today our foam producing members operate production plants in 32 countries in geographical Europe. Since 2019 we welcome foam producers from Africa, the Middle East and CIS countries in our membership. Together, our members operate the vast majority of flexible PU foam plants in the European Economic Area and produce around 90% of the foam made in the region. The way our members operate is as diverse as is the PU industry: some members sell foam blocks only, some create semi-finished products and some make mattresses, furniture and other consumer goods directly.
