Leading foam and fibre converter Peak Converters is delighted to return to the Furniture Component Expo, which will be held on 19/20th March in Telford.
Known for their outstanding customer service and innovative, high-quality foam and fibre products, Peak Converters are one of the UK’s leading suppliers of upholstery kits to the trade and have produced millions of kits and cushions for some of the largest furniture, caravan, and mobile home manufacturers in the UK for over 50 years.
Their focus for the show will be on solidifying their position as the go-to partner for innovative, high-performance, eco-friendly foam and fibre solutions and, for the first time, they will be exhibiting their new fully recyclable sprung sofa cushion, the PeakPocket™ .
The cushion incorporates a simplified design that allows every component to be easily disassembled for recycling at the end of its life. All the fibre within the product is made from recycled materials created from plastic bottles. As well as being eco-friendly, the cushion is sturdy, offering comparable longevity and comfort levels to traditional foam and fibre cushions.
As a development partner to many of the soft furnishing industry’s leading suppliers, the new cushion is a celebration of collaboration with both Wade Springs and more latterly, Think Group (formerly Texfelt), who are a leader in resilient fibres and sustainable non-wovens. This new partnership will allow Peak to offer more resilient, innovative, and environmentally friendly fibre solutions to their customers, improving product durability.
Comments managing director, Mike Crowshaw “We are really looking forward to returning to the Furniture Component Expo. The event promises new opportunities to connect with industry leaders, to display our latest innovations, and to keep up with the pace of change across the industry.”
So, what else does 2025 have in-store for Peak Converters?
Says Mike: “2025 promises to be an exciting year for all of us at Peak Converters. We have pledged a commitment to net zero manufacturing and further improving our environmental impact this year.
“Having already introduced several continuous improvement initiatives throughout our design and manufacturing processes to increase operating efficiencies and minimise waste, our focus for this year on reducing energy consumption.”
To that end the company will embark on the next phase of its Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) project. Phase 2 will focus on monitoring and reducing energy consumption across their factory to further boost operational efficiency.
Concludes Mike: “Our dedication to outstanding customer service remains unwavering. We aim to maintain our already incredibly competitive lead times and exceed customer expectations through strong long-term relationships and by adopting an innovative approach.
“We’re also committed to continuing to invest in our workforce by implementing a multi-skilling program to enhance employee development.”
