Who we are

SG Foam is a Portuguese family business based in Borralha, Águeda. We work with technical materials using state-of-the-art equipment to develop tailor-made solutions for the most demanding industries: from the military to cosmetics, from jewelry to automobiles.

We are ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified by TÜV Rheinland, we export to seven countries and we believe that technical rigor and human closeness are not contradictory objectives. They are the same thing.

Our journey

2026

Today, and what's next

Launch of the 2026 Catalog, with 16 sectors of activity, technical tables of materials and laser engraving. Consolidation of the LINK project and reinforcement of the environmental commitment to the Iberian lynx and the Mata do Buçaco.

Thirty-five years after its inception, SG Foam is a Portuguese benchmark in the technical transformation of foams. The next chapter involves deepening its international presence, developing new sustainable materials and continuing to treat each project as if it were the only one. That principle has never changed.

The foams

The beginning
