HISTORY

Livedale Foam & Sundries Ltd. was started in 1960 by 5 partners all ex Dunlop employees who were involved in the early stages of foam development. At that time the company was called Livedale Manufacturing, as when they started the company was manufacturing foam blocks, it was only after a few years that they ceased manufacturing their own foam and became solely foam converters.

Over the years the company continued to supply the upholstery trade with foam building up a very regular and loyal customer base. However, by 1993 only 2 of the partners remained, and at that time on of the last partners sold is share to the other partner’s son in law. This partnership continued until 1997 when the last of the original partner’s retired and sold his share to his daughter, who was now working in the business. At this point the company became a husband & wife team, which it remains to this day.

In 2003 the company incorporated and decided at that time to change its name so as to give an indication as to what the business does. One of the present owners sons 
(they have 4) joined the business 4 years ago, so it really is a family business, and with 3 more who knows what the future holds!

About 8 years ago Livedale started to sell a small range of upholstery sundries, that range has grown considerably over the years and now is compliments the foam conversion as a major part of the business. In 2005 the company took on a full time salesman, to help develop the business further and also to maintain regular contact with our expanding customer base.
