Each foam has different characteristics. For Metzeler, that is not only daily reality but also our target. We do not offer “off the shelf” solutions but develop the perfect foam for your application according to your specific requirements.

This requires extensive experience ranging from chemistry to machine technology. We are committed to developing new ideas, new processing methods and new technologies for our clients. Therefore, Metzeler set up so-called brain pools where tomorrow’s foams are thought out.

In our product pools, we develop polyurethane future. This is where the very first foam using regenerative resources was developed – Rubex® Nawaro. In our engineering pools, commercial implementation of our products is pursued. Their special advantage is that they profit from our experience with and competences in all application areas of the Metzeler products.

In our recycling pool, we develop technologies for environmentally compatible utilisation of cuttings. Decades of experience in the foam business, combined with continuous research and development of new possibilities, is reflected in our vast product range.
