Interep

INTEREP is the European leader in the closed cellular rubber market and a world player in the formulation and production of rubber. INTEREP , European leader in the closed cellular rubber market , has registered its development in the international field so as to impose its expertise and know how in the four corners of the globe. The history of INTEREP began in 1911 when the PFEULMER brothers filed patents concerning the injection of inert gas into a mass of mushy rubber. After registering the patents and setting up a laboratory, a series of tests was conducted in Paris and the foam rubber process “Caoutchouc mousse” was perfected. After the war two commercial factories were formed , one in Belgium and the other in France ( in Aurec sur Loire ) . Following this the two busineeses merged and the equipment from the Belgium was transported to Aurec. This explains the name Société Franco-Belge du Caoutchouc Mousse (SFBCM) , whereas the one and only factory was in France.
