PeakPocket will show the efforts of collaboration
Foam and fibre converter Peak Converters will return to the Furniture Component Expo this month. Known for its customer service and innovative foam and fibre products, Peak Converters is a leading supplier of upholstery kits to the trade and has produced millions of kits and cushions for some of the UK’s largest furniture manufacturers for more than 50 years.
The company’s focus for the show will be on solidifying its position as the go-to partner for innovative, high performance, eco-friendly foam and fibre solutions and, for the first time, it will be exhibiting PeakPocket, its new, fully recyclable, sprung sofa cushion.
Incorporating a simplified design that allows every component to be easily disassembled for recycling at the end of life, all fibre within the cushion is made from recycled materials created from plastic bottles. As well as being ecofriendly, the cushion offers comparable longevity and comfort levels to traditional foam and fibre cushions.
As a development partner to many of the soft furnishing industry’s leading suppliers, the new cushion is a celebration of collaboration with both Wade Springs and more recently Think Group (formerly Texfelt). This new partnership will allow Peak to offer more resilient, innovative and environmentally friendly fibre products.
‘We’re looking forward to returning to the Furniture Component Expo. The event promises new opportunities to connect with industry leaders and display our latest innovations. 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year at Peak Converters. We have pledged a commitment to net zero manufacturing and to further improving our environmental impact. Having already introduced several continuous improvement initiatives throughout our design and manufacturing processes to increase operating efficiencies and minimise waste, our focus for this year is on reducing energy consumption,’ says Mike Crowshaw, Peak Converters md.
The company will embark on the second phase of its Industrial Internet of Things project, focusing on monitoring and reducing energy consumption across the factory to further boost operational efficiency.
‘Our dedication to outstanding customer service remains unwavering. We aim to maintain our already incredibly competitive lead times and exceed customer expectations through strong long-term relationships and by adopting an innovative approach,’ says Crowshaw.
