The Simple Answer to Your Fire Retardant Needs and More
The Simple Truth

The backbone of the United States' economy is the manufacturing industry.  In the era of regulatory controls, economic downturns, and lagging orders, there are only a few ways to skillfully strenghten the bottomline of all businesses.  The mattress industry is no different.  

The mattress industry is faced with many of the same issues as all other manufacturers of household goods.  The new standards set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Commission have changed the industry.  The Recession of 2008 has undermined the dollar and created the setting for lower-quality, cheaper products to enter the US market from abroad.  As the country has seen over the past years, some of these foreign products are not safe.  Further, the economic downturn has decreased overall sales of household goods, causing them to plummet in 2008 and 2009. 
The Hard Questions

"How do we increase production?"
"How do we decrease 'down-time' on  the line?"
"How do we  decrease waste?"
"How do we improve quality?"
"How do we increase profits?"
"How do we meet customer fire retardant concerns?"

These questions are just a few of the questions the mattress industry is grappling with in today's regulatory and business environment. The industry is also facing the implementation of CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633/1634.  Overall production must be managed to the smallest detail.  Production Time Management must decrease unproductive hours of service.  Quality must be maintained and improved in order for a company to stay competitive.  At the same time, there are the never-ending strategies to increase company profitability.
