About Us
Rising from Humble Beginnings
Foamco’s roots go back to 1987, when it was founded as a foam converter supplier by brothers C.J. and M.J. Shah. Our company shifted its focus to the bedding industry in the late 1990s. Amidst the influx of Chinese imports of the upholstered furniture that took over the Canadian market, the company had to pivot and diversify to stay afloat. This resulted in the development of Dreameasy, our speciality sleep product line, which helped us become a leading manufacturer in the industry. We continue to diversify our product offerings using the latest technology and innovation in design. Today, the company is led by C.J. Shah’s son, Adarsh Shah, who has served as president and CEO since 2009.
Resilient in Times of Tragedy
On March 27, 2014, at our peak, Foamco suffered a devastating setback when an electrostatic spark caused a small piece of quilting foam to ignite and destroy the entire facility, including inventory, machinery, computers, and business records. Despite being covered by insurance, the estimated losses were $6 million. The challenges kept coming, and we didn’t know if our customers would return. We couldn’t manufacture products again for a year but partnered with competitors to make deliveries and learned valuable lessons about crisis management and insurance issues. Despite the setbacks, the company persevered, thanks to our greatest resource: our people. Our personal bonds with our employees were the foundation that held the company together, and they remained committed to rebuilding and restoring the company. We rebuilt Foamco on a foundation of support, resilience, and solidarity.
Reaching towards Bigger Horizons
After facing a considerable decline in sales due to a devastating fire that damaged our facility and inventory, our customer base has expanded significantly and our e-commerce bedding dealerships are flourishing. We have also relocated to a larger 64,000 sq-foot facility and invested in new machinery, automated processes and accelerated operations to support growth in our diverse range of foam products for various industries. We’ve also enhanced our packaging capabilities with patented technology. Over the past five years, we’ve tripled our size through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Our ten-year vision is to become the largest foam converter in North America and the fastest manufacturer of the most comfortable and durable cushioning and sleep products in Canada and the USA.
