Innovative solutions
since 1950
NMC:s story began in 1950 when entrepreneur Gert Noël founded the company in a small village in Belgium and began operations in the post-war era. His first idea for a company was to simplify the life of housewives by offering innovative sponges made of polyurethane foam.
Fast forward to today, and NMC has grown into a leading and growth-seeking international company specialising in synthetic cellular plastics. For nearly 70 years the company has placed human beings at the core of its operations and developed more and more products and services that make life more comfortable and protected. Worldwide we have over 1 650 employees in over 25 countries. We deliver solutions to over 120 countries.
Challenging the status quo, strong values and the legacy of the Noël family form the foundation for NMC’s goals regarding future growth.

Our extensive selection of materials contains over 400 different materials, and when needed, we can also look for and procure new additions to our selection.
Concept and design
Based on the requirements and basic information that we have discussed and gone through together, we design and suggest the most suitable solution. We use modern design software and, if needed, we can also adapt the solution we have designed to fit directly into your overall model. If you so wish, we can also offer various material options and make you a clear written offer that clearly specifies the product’s unit prices at different manufacturing volumes and possible additional tool and mould costs that may be required. From the options we present, you may choose the one that is most economically suitable for your needs.
Prototype
Production and delivery
Once you have accepted the prototype, we will manufacture the batch of products you require. Our manufacturing process is flexible and our employees are seasoned professionals. A typical batch can be anything from a single prototype to tens of thousands of products. We can determine the suitable delivery batches together.
