The Vita Group (or “Vita”), Europe’s leading flexible foam solutions provider, has announced the acquisition of Technical Foam Services (TFS), a UK foam conversion business based in Corby. 

TFS will bring enhanced technical foam conversion capacity and capability to The Vita Group, as well as bringing an even greater level of service and access to product and conversion expertise for customers. 

With over 50 people employed at its site in Corby, Northants, TFS has been providing a range of bespoke, high-quality foams to several market sectors, including the automotive, medical, audio and retail industries, for more than 20 years. Duncan Geddes, owner and Managing Director of TFS, will continue to lead the business following the acquisition.

Duncan commented: “The integration of Technical Foam Services into The Vita Group is an exciting development and will allow us to continue providing our customers with the highest levels of service and be uniquely placed to offer customers additional value-added solutions.” 

TFS is the first UK foam converter to achieve all three International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) standards for prioritising the health and wellness of staff, delivery of high-quality products and for its approach to environmental consciousness. 

Speaking on behalf of The Vita Group, Group CEO Ian Robb said: “We believe this transaction allows Vita to provide a broader range of services and products, as well as the potential for opening up new routes to market. Duncan is a highly respected leader in the industry and with his experienced workforce has built an impressive entrepreneurial company in TFS.  We look forward to working together in the future to support our customers.”
