Info

Latex International (formerly Latex Foam Products) was founded in 1975 by William Coffey and Steve Kordiak upon leaving the Sponge Products Division of Grand Sheet Metal Products. Within two years, Latex Foam Product's facility grew to 15,000 square feet of space and produced their first latex pillow in 1977. By 1979, Latex Foam had established relationships with national manufacturers in the bedding industry. In 1985, the company relocated to a 284,000-square-foot facility in Ansonia, Connecticut to support its growing business in mattress cores, furniture cushions, pillows, mattress toppers and cosmetic applicators as well as custom-designed products for industrial sectors like the automotive industry. In 2002, after a major fire destroyed the Ansonia facility, the company rebuilt a new, state-of-the-art facility in Shelton, Connecticut. This flexible manufacturing facility services more than 200 customers throughout North America and beyond. Today the company operates three regional fabrication sites located in Connecticut, Georgia and California. These locations provide customized mattress components and toppers to customers based on their specific needs.
