Soft foams for comfortable skates and backpacks

Whether for helmets, shoes or packing materials: Sekisui Alveo presents foam products and individual solutions at Techtextil in Frankfurt

Lucerne, June 12, 2007 – What a crash: barrelling downhill in a curve and not seeing the bump. After being tossed into the air, the athlete comes down on his kneepads and catches his upper body with his hands. Fortunately he is also wearing wrist protectors. Without protection gear and foams by Sekisui Alveo AG built in as padding, this fall could have caused serious injury. The Swiss company produces polyolefin foams for athletic and occupational body protection gear such as helmets, back protection vests and kneepads. The Sekisui Alveo business units CGF (Consumer Goods, General Converting and Footwear) will showcase these and many other products at Techtextil in Frankfurt, the international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, in Hall 3.0 at Stand F81.
