Foam Industry Prepares for Major North American Trade Event in 2026
The global foam materials sector is gearing up for Foam Expo North America 2026, scheduled for June 23-25 at the Novi Exhibition Center in Michigan. Organized by Tarsus Group, this premier trade show will bring together manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators from across the foam supply chain.
Industry professionals can expect to discover cutting-edge foam technologies spanning multiple material categories. The exhibition will feature polyurethane, rubber, and PVC elastomers alongside specialized production equipment and technical services. A key focus area will be sustainable foam alternatives that address growing environmental concerns.
Among the groundbreaking technologies to be showcased is Moorefoam®, developed by Dutch firm Foamplant. This revolutionary circular foam solution boasts several industry-first features:
- 100% recyclable open-cell structure
- 90% reduction in carbon emissions
- Natural flame-retardant properties
- Elimination of hazardous chemical additives
The event will cover the complete foam value chain, including:
• Insulation materials (organic and inorganic)
• Advanced specialty foams (metallic and ceramic)
• Polyurethane sealants and intermediates
• Polyol raw materials
• Foaming equipment and processing machinery
With tightening environmental regulations worldwide, particularly the EU’s phase-out of single-use plastics, sustainable foam development has become a critical industry priority. These market forces are driving rapid innovation in eco-friendly foam solutions – a trend expected to dominate conference discussions.
Chinese enterprises looking to expand into North American markets can leverage the expertise of Beijing Huansheng World Trade Exhibition Co., the official Chinese exhibition partner. The company offers comprehensive support services for domestic manufacturers seeking international opportunities.
