Regional Foam Sourcing and Just-in-Time (JIT) Delivery From Three U.S. Locations
Merryweather Foam operates three foam fabrication facilities in distinct U.S. regions: its corporate headquarters in Barberton, Ohio, near Akron; a Southeast plant in Sylacauga, Alabama; and a Southwest plant in Anthony, New Mexico, near El Paso. This footprint lets Merryweather Foam ship custom foam from the site closest to your operation, cutting transit distance and supporting just-in-time (JIT) delivery. Manufacturers across the Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest can source from a nearby regional foam supplier while still getting nationwide shipping and ISO 9001:2015-certified quality. Because all three sites follow the same certified processes, part quality and lot-to-lot consistency hold steady regardless of which location fills the order.

“My biggest challenge was deciding on which type of foam & silicone would best fit my needs. Because there are so many types of materials available, it can be time consuming to learn about all the different materials available and their specifications. Merryweather Foam was able to help me get the right materials that I needed to complete my product. Their work was completed on time – each and every time.“
Rob S. | Electronic Device Manufacturer
“We struggled with getting the best design for two of our products. I was concerned that the final cost would be very expensive, but Merryweather worked closely with us to hit our product requirements and price point. After a few different samples, the foam parts were a perfect fit.“
Evan G. | Audio Equipment Manufacturer
“My company handles over 10,000 products. The team at Merryweather has worked with me on many occasions to help me choose the right foam for the right application. Merryweather Foam is easy to work with and has helped me find solutions that I can pass along to my customers.“

Selecting Foam for Sealing and Gasket Applications
Gaskets come in a boundless array of shapes, sizes and materials, but they all do the same job. Gaskets exist to seal gaps. It might be the gap between two pipe flanges, the gap around an electrical cabinet, or even the gap between two pieces of ducting in an a/c system, but the gasket’s job is always the same: fill that gap.
