Wm. T. Burnett & Co. offers a diverse and unique range of technical foam and fiber products for the automotive, bedding, filtration, furniture and industrial markets. Formed in 1898, first as a mattress manufacturer, later as a producer of cotton batting, the company then expanded its capabilities to produce specialty synthetic fiber products. In 1954, Burnett was the first American company to produce open-celled flexible polyurethane foams, and later invented the industry standard for pouring wide-width continuous foams. The company is comprised of two divisions, Technical Foams and Nonwoven Fibers, and a wholly-owned subsidiary, Consumer Products (STX). Burnett s corporate office is located in Baltimore. Its foam division is in Jessup, Md., and the fiber division is in Statesville, N.C.
