Our Story

Built on Quality, Innovation & Partnership

kristoFOAM Industries Inc. was founded with a simple but powerful belief: that precision-engineered foam solutions, backed by real engineering expertise and genuine customer partnership, could make a measurable difference to product performance, safety, and cost. For more than 45 years, that belief has driven everything we do from the moulded NVH gaskets we supply to Tier 1 automotive manufacturers, to the custom ESD packaging we engineer for sensitive electronics, to the military-spec protective cases we fabricate for defence customers across Canada and abroad. Our Concord, Ontario facility features an internal engineering team, advanced fabrication equipment, and a Quality Management Systems built on continuous improvement, giving us the capability to take a project from concept through prototype and into full production, entirely under one roof.
