Company History

Company Description

Nomaco Inc. specializes in the development and manufacturing of custom-engineered, thermoplastic foam extrusions. During Nomaco's first three decades of business, the company became the leader in its field, and repeatedly created breakthrough products, innovative capabilities and new markets. Most notable is the development of the high-quality Nomacorc synthetic wine closure, a business which became an independent company in 1999 in order to pursue an aggressive worldwide expansion plan. Today, the business units of Nomaco have evolved into autonomous operating entities. These include Nomaco Home Furnishings, Nomaco Insulation, Nomaco Engineered Foam Solutions and Construction Foam Products.

For 20 years, Nomaco has been providing foam components to the bedding and home furnishings industry. Today, Nomaco Home Furnishings is the leading supplier of LDPE extrusion profiles for this industry. This company's innovation has replaced polyurethane and steel with LDPE components providing superior performance, competitive pricing and creative solutions.
