Goodyear Expands Latex Operations and Foam Creations
Goodyear reports a 33 percent rise in natural rubber latex use in 1949 and opens a $5 million Akron plant with a new creaming facility in Johore Malaysia. Foamed latex cushions are produced for mattresses, furniture, and seats. Liquid latex is creamed in Johore and frothed in Akron, then whipped into foam and cured in molds.
