A family run independent business
When the late Walter Laurie, Founder of Strandfoam Group in South Africa ventured into the business world in 1950 with £136 in his pocket he had a dream.
Little did he know his dream would become a part of the dream world of thousands of people. Before Walter started creating comfort for dreamers, he provided cushioning for fruit in the form of woodwool. After realising the machinery needed for manufacturing foam for the fruit industry could also be used to manufacture foam for a wider range of products.
In 1968 Strandfoam was born.
At Strandfoam UK Ltd, we have a passion for creating quality products for our customers and ensuring they are part of the journey. Our story began when John and his wife, Yolanda moved to the UK in 2020.
After Honda Logistics closed down in 2021, John saw an opportunity to purchase the old factory and start a new manufacturing business.
In April 2022, building work commenced and Strandfoam UK Ltd was born. On the 30th of November the first foam was made.
