Founded in 1929 when a research scientist by the name of E. A. Murphy realized his dream of creating Dunlopillo latex using a cake mixer and steam oven, Dunlop Latex Foam (known the world over as Dunlopillo) today is a leading manufacturer and exporter of Talalay latex for beds, mattresses, and pillows. Its brands can be found in more than 80 countries worldwide. In 2002 Europe's leading bed manufacturing group Hilding Anders International acquired Dunlopillo; at that time it changed its name to Dunlop Latex Foam. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competitive Landscape for Dunlop Latex Foam Ltd.
The volume of home furniture sold depends heavily on the level of home sales, while office furniture sales depend on the health of the US economy. The profitability of individual companies is closely linked to volume, since many costs are fixed. Small companies can compete effectively if they produce specialty items or high-quality workmanship that can sell for a premium price. Imports are a major competitive factor, totaling more than $26 billion a year, and many US manufacturers have factories overseas, where labor and production costs are lower than in the US. Foreign competition and production overcapacity have combined to keep prices low. Additionally, despite automation, the made-to-order nature of much of the business means that the industry is fairly labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is around $250,000.
