General Info

Active Foam Products was established in Illinois in 1958. Our original mission was to fabricate foam or the custom upholstery market in Chicago. In 1963 the company expanded into distributing upholstery supplies. In 1982 Active Foam Products was purchased by its current ownership and began to develop the company into one of the premier suppliers to the custom upholstery trade.In 1992, Active Foam Products expanded into Wisconsin by establishing a fully stocked upholstery supply warehouse and foam fabricating facility in Milwaukee. This geographic expansion also brought with it an expansion of many new product lines. After just a short 3 years in Milwaukee, we expanded into our current 20,000 square foot facility along with adding new machines and capabilities. In 1998, our Chicago operation expanded into a 43,000 square foot warehouse that has enabled us to add the necessary equipment to be more cost effective and to offer valuable new services unseen before in this industry. In 2003, a third facility was added with the purchase of Foam Distributing, a foam fabricator with over 20 years of established roots in Detroit, Michigan. The upholstery supply line was added to bring to the Detroit market a full line supply house to serve Eastern Michigan. In 2006, we expanded to a 21,000 square foot facility in the near suburb, Eastpointe.Fabricating Highlights*Cut-to-Size Patterns*Multi-Piece Assemblies*Profile Pattern Cutting*Wedged Pattern Cutting
