Foamers struggle to grow

摘要

Budapest-Solid growth in flexible foam slabstock production in Belgium failed to offset poor performance in Europe's key national markets such as Germany, France and, especially, Spain. And, so far this year, things are not showing much sign of positive movement, indicated Ward Dupont, president of Europur, the European Association of Flexible Polyurethane Foam Blocks Manufacturers. He is also group general manager of the comfort and technical foams unit of Recticel International, the Brussels-based polyurethane firm.
