Drew Foam

What Drew Foam does

Drew Foam Companies Inc. is a US-based polystyrene foam manufacturer founded in 1965 and headquartered in Monticello, Arkansas. The company produces expanded polystyrene (EPS) and related foam materials used in construction insulation (including Insulated Concrete Forms, rigid board insulation, radiant floor heating, and geofoam for civil engineering), cold-chain logistics (molded coolers, six-panel liners, XDS, and custom temperature-controlled packaging), and protective packaging (OEM components, customized packing, and flexible foams). Drew Foam also supplies specialty materials such as EPP, ARCEL, Graphite Polystyrene (GPS), biodegradable EPS foams, and recycled resins, serving industries that include construction, cold-chain, automotive, appliance, marine, and safety.

The company's core technology is the manufacture of expanded polystyrene foam and adjacent polymer foams, with custom mold-making, fabrication, and engineering services delivered through a manufacturing and logistics network. Drew Foam now operates as one of six consolidated brands under Alleguard, alongside Huntington Solutions, Insulation Company of America, Fabricated Packaging Materials, AMVIC Building System, and Concrete Block Insulating Systems Inc.; this integrated network is positioned as the company's primary distribution differentiator. The company's revenue model is hardware/product sales (polystyrene foam goods sold to vertical end-markets), with pricing not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition is principally direct sales to enterprise and trade buyers in construction, cold-chain logistics, and packaging.

Drew Foam's go-to-market operates through direct manufacturing and distribution via the Alleguard network, supported by brand presence across LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and an online ordering capability. Bill Givens serves as President & CEO. Operational milestones include the 2019 acquisition of Davis Core & Pad and a January 2025 $4,800 civil penalty with Arkansas environmental regulators for an air-permit violation at the Monticello facility. The company has 101-250 employees, remains privately held with no disclosed revenue, and operates solely within the United States.
