The appointment connects customers across advanced components, packaging, acoustic insulation and medical and military applications to Zotefoams advanced foam materials through a globally established contract development and manufacturing organization.
Zotefoams materials are used in medical, pharmaceutical, and military applications where cleanliness and material properties are critical to life saving products and technologies. UFP Technologies’ appointment to the Global Partner Program extends access to those same materials across a broader range of applications and sectors, supported by a network of 21 global locations including Puerto Rico, Ireland, Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic.
Founded in 1963 and headquartered in Newburyport, Mass., UFP Technologies works with customers from early-stage design and engineering through to full-scale production. Its advanced components division covers equipment protection and packaging, acoustic and thermal insulation, fluid and air management, comfort and support, and trim and structural components, all applications where the performance characteristics of Zotefoams materials, including consistent cell structure, low weight and chemical resistance, are directly relevant.
For customers working across those sectors, the appointment means access to Zotefoams advanced foam materials through a partner capable of taking a specification from concept to finished component under one roof.
Partners in the Zotefoams Global Approved Partner Program are assessed against defined criteria covering quality systems, application knowledge, manufacturing capability and customer support standards. For end users, that process means materials and fabrication services sourced through UFP Technologies meet Zotefoams performance and consistency requirements.
