Founders Robert S. Greiner and K. Kenneth Tarbell created G&T Industries in 1954 to support the post-war boom in contract office seating foam. Focusing on polyurethane foam fabrication, Greiner and Tarbell saw the potential to do more in the furniture foam, packaging foam, medical foam, transportation foam, military, electronics, HVAC, athletic and marine foam markets. Not content to satisfy just one aspect of a company’s needs, G&T laid a foundation of curiosity, innovation and customer service. Exploring new materials such as polyethylene foam and cross linked foam and investing in automated CNC, water jet and die cut equipment enabled G&T Industries to grow through innovation. Growth continued with the acquisition of Foam Fair Industries in 2015, giving G&T new opportunities in the rubber industry.
