When E. Rhodes Carpenter began distributing latex cushioning to furniture makers in 1948, he quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity. Even when his supplier abruptly abandoned him, he did not abandon his customers. Instead, he found them a better solution: cushioning made from flexible urethane foam. He brought the manufacturing process from Germany to Richmond, Virginia in 1956.
By 1962 he was pouring his own foam to ensure quality. Today, the company that bears his name is the largest maker of comfort cushioning products in the world with 16 foam producing plants, 4,000 employees, and 41 global locations. His penchant for continuous improvement led to the development of many of the standards used in the industry today.
