Every aspect of our company is entirely reliant on people. When real people do real business with each other, everyone succeeds.
A foundation of foam.
Founders Robert S. Greiner and K. Kenneth Tarbell created G&T Industries in 1954 to support the post-war boom in contract office seating foam. Focusing on polyurethane foam fabrication, Greiner and Tarbell saw the potential to do more in the furniture foam, packaging foam, medical foam, transportation foam, military, electronics, HVAC, athletic and marine foam markets. Not content to satisfy just one aspect of a company’s needs, G&T laid a foundation of curiosity, innovation and customer service. Exploring new materials such as polyethylene foam and cross linked foam and investing in automated CNC, water jet and die cut equipment enabled G&T Industries to grow through innovation. Growth continued with the acquisition of Foam Fair Industries in 2015, giving G&T new opportunities in the rubber industry.
From there, under the leadership of Chairman Emeritus, Bob Wood, the company evolved into a people-based company concentrating on creating solutions to customers’ complex problems.
To respond to demands for streamlined international sourcing, G&T Industries pioneered World Resource Partners, a G&T Company, to bring high quality, low-cost die cast aluminum, plastic injection molding and self skinning polyurethane components to the North American marketplace from Asia. At World Resource Partners, we make the world your workforce. This means finding the right overseas partner, ensuring the highest quality, and backing every product with on-time reliability. That way, you can focus on what matters most: growing your business.
