Kreuzwertheim/Shanghai | On November 2, Kurtz Ersa Asia Ltd. received the Foam Expo Award 2023 in the category “Best Practice in Sustainability”. The award recognized the radio-frequency (RF) technology of the Kurtz Protective Solutions division and the sustainable innovative development practices of Kurtz Ersa Asia Ltd.
As a pioneer in the development of sustainable foam technologies, Kurtz Ersa Asia Ltd. is committed to working with partners to create a smarter, healthier, safer and more sustainable future. This year, Kurtz Ersa Asia participated for the first time in the Foam Expo China trade fair, which took place from November 1 to 3 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. At the same time, the company took the opportunity to apply for the Foam Expo Award with its RF technology – which was rewarded with a win the very first time it took part!
The award ceremony took place on the second day of Foam Expo China, which is the only trade fair in China to focus on the further development of foam technology. The aim of Foam Expo China is to bring together the leading representatives of the foam industry in order to promote cooperation in the industry and thereby drive innovation.
