Alpek

What Alpek does

Alpek OÜ is an Estonian B2B wholesale and light-manufacturing company headquartered in Lehmja, operating as a polyurethane (PU) foam cutting centre and a soft-furniture accessories distributor. Its core activity is converting raw PU foam blocks into specification-grade cut products via horizontal sheet cutting (up to 245x204 cm), vertical section cutting, contour cutting from DXF/DWG drawings, profiling (egg-shaped foam), and shredded/crushed foam production, alongside direct distribution of 50+ foam types (RP, RF, HR, VE, RG, HS, Limi, open cell) spanning densities of 18–55 kg/m³ and strengths of 40–280 newtons.

Beyond foam, the company carries 4,000+ articles across furniture fittings (mechanisms, legs, springs, upholstery accessories), industrial adhesives (solvent-borne, water-based, hot melt), pneumatic tools and staplers, sewing equipment, mattress-making machinery (represented for Global Systems Group in Estonia and Finland), acoustics products, packaging materials, and space-saving furniture mechanisms. Products carry sector-specific certifications (Oeko-Tex 100, CertiPur, FMVSS 302, CAL 117-2013, UK Fire Safety FR) qualifying them for mattresses, upholstered furniture, automotive, and public-space end markets.

Commercially, Alpek runs a sales-led B2B model with unit pricing in EUR (a low minimum order of 10 pieces lowers barrier to entry), a dedicated B2B ordering portal for manufacturers, and a six-partner reseller network (On24, Slept, Noor tehnik, Kangadžungel OÜ, Hagelin Textil Company OÜ, Kauplus Sohvameister) serving Estonian SMB and retail demand. The company self-describes as having the largest PU foam selection in Estonia and the largest PU foam cutting centre in the Baltics, with operations across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Founded in 2005, the company is privately held with no disclosed funding, revenue, or external ownership.

Broad incumbents

• Carpenter Co. One of the largest global polyurethane foam producers, supplying bedding, furniture, carpet and specialty foam markets. Comparable to Alpek on PU foam products and furniture/bedding end use, though at much greater scale and as a manufacturer rather than distributor.
• Vita Group: UK-headquartered global polyurethane foam manufacturer serving bedding, furniture and automotive markets. Comparable to Alpek on product (flexible PU foam grades) and end customers, but at far greater scale and with in-house foam production.
• Recticel: Belgian-listed polyurethane foam manufacturer supplying bedding, furniture, automotive and insulation markets across Europe. Comparable to Alpek in the same product categories and customer base, but operating as a large integrated producer rather than a regional converter.
• Fehrer: German/Austrian foam specialist producing polyurethane and specialty foam components for automotive, furniture and bedding OEMs. Comparable to Alpek in foam conversion into furniture applications, though primarily a manufacturer serving large industrial customers.

Direct peers

• FoamPartner: Swiss-based European specialist in polyurethane foam cutting and conversion for furniture, mattress and seating applications. Closely comparable to Alpek on business model: foam fabrication services plus distribution of foam grades into furniture and bedding OEMs.
• Trocellen: European foam products manufacturer and converter producing polyethylene and polyurethane foams for automotive, construction, sports and packaging applications. Comparable to Alpek in foam fabrication/conversion and distribution to industrial customers.
• Eurofoam: Austrian polyurethane foam producer and converter supplying furniture, mattress and industrial customers across Central Europe. Comparable to Alpek for its foam fabrication/distribution role into furniture OEMs, though at larger scale.
• Caligen Foam: UK-based polyurethane foam converter serving furniture, bedding and acoustic customers with custom-cut foam products. Comparable to Alpek as a foam fabrication specialist with a broad grade portfolio and similar B2B cut-to-size model.
• Spuhl: Swiss manufacturer of mattress production machinery and systems, including coil spring and packaging equipment. Comparable to Alpek's mattress machinery distribution angle via Global Systems Group, representing the same product category at the supplier side.

Others

• Hilding Anders: Europe's largest mattress and bedding manufacturer, headquartered in Sweden. Comparable to Alpek as a buyer of PU foam and mattress inputs (i.e., a downstream customer) and useful for sizing the addressable foam market in Northern Europe.
